I take it you mean the Plains? Well, they fought each other all the time and some became embroiled in the Riel Rebellion. I think the major factor was that settlement was later and more sparse and then the buffalo disappeared leaving the tribes dependent on the government. Relations with the rather more diplomatic NWMP (who were, initially at least, seen as a benefit by the Indians because they made it their business to target the sale of liquor from Canadian and US 'traders' who were causing considerable damage to the tribes)while often painted more rosy than they actually were, also helped.
As far as fighting each other is concerned, it happened all the time and well into the reservation period Crows from the US were raiding Canadian Blackfoot for horses and vice versa.

Really well put grahamew! But let us also remember the East. I personally visited the battlefield near Thamesville, Ontario, where the great Shawnee chief Tecumseh was killed. This was indeed a real battle much like the ones in the US at that time.

There were many battles. the battle at pilot mound, many Sioux were killed. our people Sioux People still talk about it, I heard it from an elder in Sioux Valley that there is a massive grave site. The Sioux called the Saulteaux a rattle snack people up in Canada. The Natives were all the same. Even today the natives in Canada are still the same. I blame it on the justice system. killers get 5 years in Canada. The cree charged forts back in the day aswell. but we never hear these things because they are not over rated. when they colonized Ontario n Quebec the mothers had to send their young in the river on boats, the ones that made it. So much undocumented deaths. These few warriors that had a dream to go back to the old way, can we blame them? they did a natural instinct humans do to date.
