Since there were many different tribes of Plains Indians, there were many different types of social organization. This site probably explains it best.

Fact Chart
Plains:
Food = Pemmican/Bison/Buffalo
Shelter = Tipi
Clothing = tunics, leggings, skirts, breechcloths, & moccasins
Social Organization = ?
Government society = the sun dance was a rite of initation
I think I am supposed to use some or one of these terms for the social organization.
Kinship, Matrilocal, patrilocal, patriarchal, Patrilineal, matrilinral, Bilateral. I am not sure which term out of these fit with the people of the plains.
Please add any more information, thanks
