The Indians of the Plains. 



The ranges for the various tribes are approximately indicated by the positions and extents of 

 their respective names. As a rule, these tribes did not respect definite boundaries to their 

 ranges, each tribe claiming certain camping places, but otherwise hunting and roaming where it 

 pleased. The typical Plains tribes are designated by a star and range north and south across 

 the area. To the east of them are the tribes practising some agriculture, perhaps in imitation 

 of the Woodland tribes. On the west are a few tribes whose position is quite uncertain; hence, 

 the boundary for the culture area has been drawn through their range, thus giving them an in- 

 termediate position.
