sioux

Best known of the plains peoples, the Sioux migrated from the American north east in the 18th century. The Sioux played a dominant role in the history of the plains. One outstanding event was when they combined forces with the Cheyenne and Arapaho and obliterated the U. S. cavalry forces under Gen. George Custer at the Little Big Horn in 1876. If the tribes and nations had been able to muster consistent unity throughout the West, the history of the United States would have been very different.
