Tribes of Native America

 
The Arapaho Nation
By: Jenna and Morgan

 
 
General Overview:
Tradition places their early home in Northern Minnesota in the  Red River valley. The Arapaho divided into two groups after they migrated to the plains.
One group, the Northern Arapaho, continued to live on the North Platte River in Wyoming, while the Southern Arapaho moved south to the Arkansas River in Colorado. Traditionally the Southern Arapaho were allied with the Cheyenne against the Pawnee.

 
 
Food- Their food in the winter consists of buffalo, deer, and elk.  Their summer food consists of them moving around and following buffalo.
