I hope this kinda helps... Well, most Native Americans (including the Plains Indians) were forced onto reservations as a result of western exploration. This began during the Jacksonian era (Cherokee tribe, Georgia, Trail of Tears) and continued throughout the 1800s. While some tribes did what they were told and moved onto small reservations and became farmers, some of the Plains Indians fought back. A big think for the Americans was to "civilize" these Native Americans - the Americans thought that they needed to teach the Native Americans to farm, and settle and live the "proper lifestyle." Obviously, the Plains Indians just wanted to live their lives according to their traditions and customs.
Two major things that really hurt the Plains Indians was the Wounded Knee Massacre (and all the other battles in which the Americans were able to dominate using guns vs. primitive weapons) and the Buffalo Bonanza that began with Western Expansion.
While the Native Americans killed buffalo based on need and used every part of the buffalo for different purposes, the Americans got into buffalo hide (making clothes/etc out of it) and would kill them for sport. Buffalo Bill is a famous hunter who killed tons of buffalo in such a short amount of time that he depleted the buffalo population significantly and the Plains Indians were one of the groups that suffered.
So basically, the Plains Indians were more stubborn in giving up their lifestyle and unfortunately paid the price with their lives.
