Best Answer

The term Prairie means different things in Canada and the USA (two countries separated by a common language); in Canada it is used to mean the same as Plains, while in the USA it originally meant the very tall grasslands to the east of the Great Plains.

If you mean these tall grasslands, the tribes living in that area consisted of the following:

Dakota Sioux

Wichita and related tribes

Santee Sioux

Quapaw

Ponca

Omaha

Pawnee (Skidi, Tsawi, Kitkehaxki and Pitahawirata)

Oto-Missouri

Osage

Mandan

Hidatsa

Arikara

Iowa

Kansa (Kaw)

Features of the cultures of these tribes were agriculture, semi-permanent villages of earth lodges and other large structures often surrounded by defensive stockades and the cultivation of tobacco. These tribes also hunted for buffalo at certain times, using horses and small tipi-style lodges for their hunting bands.
