What do the people of the great plains include?

Answer 1

If this question refers to the United States, then it can be answered by describing the Native American Tribes that made their homes in the US Territories, for the most part in areas west of the Mississippi River.

However, the period mentioned above only refers to the 19th Century in the United States.

Long before that time, in the middle of the 1700's the Native American Tribes in the southern plains of the continental USA were the large Tribes of the Comanches and the Apaches. Before the end of the 18th Century, the Comanches came to dominate the southern plains with successful wars against the Apaches. One of the reasons given by historians for the dominance of the Comanches was their excellent skills as horsemen. It should be noted here that before the Spanish conquistadors came to the Americas, there were no horses in the Western Hemisphere. The Comanche soon learned how to use horses in warfare.

The Comanche Tribe came to prominence as it a territory larger than any other Tribe in the area now the southwest USA. It should also be noted that within the southern plains the Pueblo Tribe also dwelled. Other Native Tribes included the relocated Cherokee, Sioux, Utes Chicksaw, Senecas and Shawness.

The areas ruled by the Comanche included the plains where great herds of buffaloes roamed. This was a large source of food, leather hides and fur for the Comanche. This Tribe dominated the area and at times they engaged in trading with Mexicans and Texans. At other times there was little peace.

It was not until the end of the US Civil War, that the USA forced most of the Comanche onto reservations. The task of reducing the Comanche and placing them on reservations along with other Native Tribes was the work of General William Tecumseh Sherman.

Answer 2

The people of the Great Plains include Native American tribes such as the Sioux, Comanche, and Cheyenne, as well as European settlers, immigrants, and descendants of both groups who now call the region home. They have a rich history of adapting to the challenges of the environment and have diverse cultural traditions that continue to be celebrated today.
