The Sioux (at least on the plains). That’s why the Crow and the Blackfeet allied with the U.S. Army.

The Blackfeet were a branch of the Lakota (or Teton) Sioux. The Crows (Absaroka) were not Sioux at all. The Crows hated the Sioux, and many Crows became scouts for the US Army. No one much liked the Blackfeet, except the Gros Ventre, with whom they were neighbors.

The name "sioux" is short for Nadowessioux, meaning "little snakes", which was a spiteful nickname given to them by the Ojibwe, their longtime foe.
