The term “Native American” refers to indigenous people of North America. There were various tribes with specific ways of life and territories, such as the Tuskegee, Apalachee, Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Sioux (which refers to seven closely related tribes).
The term “Native American” refers to the indigenous people of North America and individuals who lived in North America long before European explorers invaded the territory. However, the original people of North America were not a single group and various groups, or tribes, had specific ways of life and generally inhabited specific areas. Examples of Native American tribes include the Tuskegee, Cheyenne and Arapaho.
The Tuskegee are one of the tribes known collectively as the Muskogean. Records suggest that this tribe moved throughout history, but their movement appears to have been limited largely to the area that is now known as Alabama. Eventually they were forced to move to Oklahoma.
The Apalachee is another of the Native American tribes that belongs to the Muskogean group. This tribe, originally from Florida, was known for its size, among other things. Their fates were rewritten by both European and Native American forces, first when the Spanish forced them into mission towns, and then when the British influenced two other tribes, the Creek and the Yuchi, to attack and nearly destroy them.
The Arapaho are an example of the Native American tribes that are part of Oklahoma’s history. The origins of the Arapaho remain unknown, but some theories suggest they may have descended from Canada. They were Algonkian-speaking Native Americans who maintained an alliance with the Cheyenne, but who were generally opponents of the Shoshone, Ute, and Pawnee. In 1861, the Arapaho signed a treaty with the United States (USA) resulting in the southern part of the tribe being granted lands in what is now Oklahoma and the northern part of the tribe being granted lands in what is now Oklahoma. Wyoming.
The Cheyenne are also Algonkian-speaking people. The roots of this tribe go back to an area between the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. History reveals that at one point the Cheyenne were a stationary tribe, but became nomadic, like the Arapaho, by force. This tribe had a notable alliance with the Sioux which was often used in warfare against the whites. This included the historic Battle of the Little Bighorn, in which the Teton Sioux and Cheyenne fought the United States Army to protect their hunting grounds.
Many people are familiar with the term “Sioux,” but it’s important to note, however, that this name does not refer to a single tribe. Rather, it refers to seven closely related tribes that were found by explorers on the land that is now Minnesota: the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton, Sisitownan, Yankton, Yanktonai, and Teton.
