Tribe
The tribe this steed is based on are located in North Dakota at the headwaters of the Missouri River. Once united with the Crow Nation (Absaroke). The Hidatsa were a plains tribe who built permanent log dwellings, and who raised crops, primarily corn. During the winter, the Hidatsa lived in tipis when they went on buffalo hunts. The Hidatsa organized themselves into various societies, such as the Lumpwood, Stone Hammer, Notched Stick, Dog Society. The Dog Society did everything backward, doing the opposite of what was said. In order to ride bravely into battle, they had to be told to run away! This code of conduct is depicted in the movie Little Big Man.
