Plains, Pacific, Badlands and Rockies

This massive plains region in North-America, is a vast grassland between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains, from the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada south to Texas in the United States. The area is the watershed of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Some of the most famous Plains tribes were pushed from heavily forested regions -with lakes & rivers aplenty- near the East Coast and were pushed Westward by the European invasion of the Americas. The Cheyenne for example, were amongst these tribes. Their lifestyle transformed massively and successfully to the Plains way of life.
It appears that most scholars, which I am not, are grouping tribal groups into language families. For example: Na-Dené, Algic, Caddoan-speakers, Uto-Aztecan language OR group by a new idea of grouping them all into two -Penutian and Hokan- and then from there.

This just an intro. MUCH more to come!
