Each of these regions is cut by canyons ranging from a few hundred to 2,000 feet in depth.

There are three climates zones: the cold humid climate of the mountains and mesa tops, 8%; the steppe climate of the mesas and the high plains, 37%; and the comparatively warm desert, 55%.

The longer answer is:

The approximately 35 Plains Indians tribes are roughly broken down into two groups, one of which became a fully nomadic horse culture during the 18th and 19th centuries, although some of those tribes still occasionally engaged in agriculture. The second group is described as semi-sedentary: while they still hunted buffalo, they also lived in villages, raised a variety of crops, and sought to trade with other tribes. This group includes the tribes of Arikara, Iowa, Kaw (or Kansa), Hidatsa, Kitsai, Missouria, Mandan, Osage, Omaha, Otoe, Ponca, Pawnee, Quapaw, Wichita, Santee Dakota, Yanktonai, and Yankton Dakota.
