The oldest known named peoples in the region of today's Colorado were the Ancestral Puebloans. (Though sometimes called Anasazi, that word did not really denote a tribe.) Prominent tribes residing in Colorado were the Utes, who lived in the mountains, and the Cheyenne and Arapahoe, who resided on the plains from the Arkansas to the Platte rivers. There were also the Kiowas and Comanches living south of the Arkansas River. Other tribes, such as the Pawnee and Sioux, hunted through parts of Colorado. Today only 0.9% of Coloradans are categorized as American Indian by the U.S. Census Bureau, slightly above the national average of 0.8%.
