There were many Native American tribes across the plains with different languages, customs and ways of life. While some tribes lived peacefully, conflict arose with European settlement and the loss of tribal lands. By the late 1800s, most tribes had been confined to reservations after losing their fight to maintain their traditional cultures. The document then provides details on the livelihoods and histories of specific plains tribes such as the Apache, Arapaho, Blackfoot, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Comanche, Crow, Navajo, Nez Perce, Pawnee, Shawnee, Shoshone, and Sioux.
