Thanks for your response.I hold with the Chippewa domino theory that Chippewa expansion across the fur bearing upper Great Lakes effected Indians on the Plains as far south as Texas.
There was clearly a 'domino' effect as one group was displaced by white immigrants and then displaced others and so on. In the seventeenth century, the Lakota inhabited the headwaters of the Mississippi River. They were forced out by the Chippewa and moved toward the Missouri River, where by the 1770s they had displaced the Arikara. They continued on to the Black Hills, where they 'evicted' the Kiowa and Crow....
