grassland between the Mississippi river, Rocky
Mountains or from present day Saskatchewan and
Alberta to Southern Texas. It has a continental

Demography and Peoples

The cultural plains instead of the interior plains

refers to the cultural area in which the Plains
Indigenous peoples lived. It has no strict border
but describes a general area.
The groups living there are the Siksika, Piikani,
Kainai, Dakota, Stoney (Nakota), Cree, Ojibwe,
Assiniboine and Tsuut’ina. Metis people also
lived on the plains, however there were other large
and significant populations elsewhere.

Mikmaq during the UN’s National Year of Indigenous Languages in 2019,
to bring awareness around the consequences of endangered languages.

Languages
There are three large language families to which
most plains Indigenous languages belong to.
Algonquin languages, Siouan languages and
Athapaskan (or Dene) language family.
Languages from different languages families are
completely different, and ones from the same
family will share limited similarities. This, along
with the nomadic lifestyle of many plains
Indigenous peoples caused them to develop hand
gestures or sign language to communicate.
