Imagine you are a Cheyenne warrior standing in the middle of 1,000,000 square miles of grassland (the Great Plains) with a canoe. The best thing you can do with it is use it to light a fire.
The Cheyenne, like all Plains tribes, had no use at all for canoes because they constantly travelled in search of buffalo herds which generally migrated north and south seasonally. The few waterways on the Plains flow west to east - the wrong direction for buffalo hunters.
Canoes were used mainly by the Eastern Woodlands and Great Lakes tribes who had access to thousands of miles of waterways radiating in all directions.
They certainly did use paddles. The shape of each tribe's paddles was usually fairly unique and distinctive, but Iroquois paddles seem to be very like those of their Algonquian neighbours.
