Native Americans
"Sometime near 1700, the Shoshone with the advantage of having horses, came into Montana and dominated a wide piece of territory extending from the far western reaches of the Bitterroot and Beaverhead mountains to well out on the high plains. Then several bands of the Blackfeet Nation drifted to the Montana prairie from Canada. Acquiring horses and guns, they proved to be the stronger warriors and drove the Shoshone to the state’s southwest corner."
