There wasn't much fighting between bands on the Prairies (should have been clearer about this - the eastern nations were far different culturally then the Prairie bands).

And if they did, it was more over access to hunting grounds for each tribe - but the concept of an individual actually "owning" land made zero sense to their traditions. Property was communal inside the tribe, so why would people need to own anything?
