A note on terminology:
Where possible, we use names of specific tribes or nations. When addressing larger groups of Native peoples of the American Plains, we occasionally use the term "Indian" because it legally refers to indigenous peoples of the contiguous United States and carries considerable legal weight with regard to treaties between the United States and the American Indians. As such, the term also serves to narrow the scope of this video, which is the plight of the Plains Native Nations in the 19th century facing the U.S. government; the indigenous peoples of the plains further north and their relationship with the Canadian government would be a video for another day.
