The Lakota in the 1450s are a Native American tribe that resides in the plains of Midwest USA and Southern Midwest Canada. They are not united and have many leaders that are called Chieftains, they also have elders who serve as guides of the village and tribes of the Lakota. The Lakota don't know how to plant other crops beside corn yet and heavily rely on game such as bison, deer, fish and other game. They live in Teepees on the plains although they are working on building long standing structures. They practice many distinct and ceremonial practices. Many of the ceremonial practices involve peace pipes and beads.
