Northern Plains Indigenous Peoples

The Northern Plains Indigenous Peoples are Native American tribes traditionally inhabiting the northern Great Plains region, including parts of present-day Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Alberta. Known for their rich cultural heritage, these tribes, such as the Cree, Assiniboine, and Blackfeet, historically relied on buffalo hunting, agriculture, and nomadic hunting practices. They have deep spiritual traditions, social structures, and arts that reflect their close relationship with the land and wildlife. Today, they continue to preserve their cultural identity, language, and history while engaging with contemporary society.
