Hinono'eino

The Hinono'eino, or Arapaho, were an Algonquian-speaking people whose ancestors moved from the western Great Lakes onto the Great Plains before 1700. After acquiring horses in the early 1700s, they hunted bison across the plains. Around 1811 they allied with the Cheyenne, and by 1826 their alliance with the Lakota and Dakota had pushed the Kiowa and Comanche southward.
