https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assiniboine
plural; Ojibwe: Asiniibwaan, "stone Sioux"; also in plural Assiniboine or Assiniboin), also known as the Hohe and known by the endonym Nakota (or Nakoda or Nakona), are a First Nations/Native American people originally from the Northern Great Plains of North America.
Today, they are centred in present-day Saskatchewan. They have also populated parts of Alberta and southwestern Manitoba in Canada, and northern Montana and western North Dakota in the United States. They were well known throughout much of the late 18th and early 19th century, and were members of the Iron Confederacy with the Cree.
The word Assiniboine has its origin as follows: They split from the Sioux in the 1300's. Their ancient rivals the Ojibwe, knew of these as a new people and they start calling them Asini Pwat meaning "Stone Dakota."
Other tribes associated "stone" with the Assiniboine because they primarily cooked with heated stones. They dropped hot stones into water to heat it to boiling for cooking meat.
They suffered epidemics with high mortality, most notably smallpox among the Assiniboine. The Assiniboine population crashed from around 10,000 people in the late 18th century to around 2600 by 1890.[8]
After my grandfather disappeared for three months - with literally NO news - tramping out west - southwest and into Mexico - he got a job at the above "tin shop" in Watertown South Dakota, based on his experience with his dad's invention of a window vent. That training launched my grandfather's founding of a sheet metal HVAC company still in production today, union and employee-owned.
Sod buildings are constructed of 1 foot by 2-
foot sod bricks. Advantages include low construction costs, high insulation value
and ability to stop bullets and arrows.
To make sod bricks, you need to use a specialized plow called a sod cutter to cut long strips of soil with a thick layer of grass from the ground when the earth is moist, then use an axe or similar tool to chop the strips into rectangular blocks, ensuring the grass roots are facing the same direction in each brick
The Longest Genocide in Human history
Genocide of Native Americans - the evidence details
On the bitterly cold morning in 1870, U.S. Army troops under the command of Major Eugene Baker attacked the sleeping camp of Piikuni Chief Heavy Runner, killing almost 200 people. The murdered included Heavy Runner, who was shot after presenting papers that testified that he was “a friend to the whites.” Many other victims of the attack were sick with small pox; most were women, children, and the elderly—almost all of the able-bodied men were out hunting. Following the brutal slaughter, the soldiers then burned the Indians’ tipis and other possessions and took their horses, decreasing the likelihood that those who survived the attack would be able to survive the harsh winter weather. Initially, the Montana press hailed Baker as a hero, but gradually reports by both Indians and non-Indians called into question his version of events, exposing the true atrocities that took place on the Marias River—called Bear Creek by the Blackfeet—150 years ago.
