The Assiniboine Tribe is a Native American group originally from the northern Great Plains, primarily in present-day Montana and North Dakota. They are part of the larger Sioux nation and are known for their historical nomadic lifestyle, relying on buffalo hunting for sustenance. The tribe has a rich cultural heritage, including traditional crafts, music, and storytelling. Today, the Assiniboine people are organized into several federally recognized tribes, including the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes in Montana. They continue to preserve their cultural identity while engaging in modern economic activities, such as gaming and tourism, to support their communities.
