Yeah, the nomadic Pains Cree lived in the Great Plains (yea, I live in the same land as my ancestors), and like most of the other plains nations, were born into the saddle. Try to think of the Asian steppe nomads.

However, I cannot speak for the use of horses amongst the rest of the tribes.

It's also too bad CA didn't bother with doing research about the placement of the native tribes. Instead, they decided to put well-heard-of tribes in whatever area they so chose. It didn't matter that the Chippewa Nations are currently spread all across Canada because of their earlier power and glory in this period, or that the Hurons were practically non-existant by this time, having been all but wiped out by the Five Nations the previous century, or that the Inuit homeland wasn't in Labrador and was far too insignificant anyways to be included as a faction, and that it doesn't make sense to include the wrongfully-done Inuit and leave the more populous areas of America to the south as "Wilderness," and so on. They might just as well have put the old Roman Republic in Sweden at the same time as Napoleon's Empire in Greece in the year 1700.

Not that any of you kids care, of course. This only catches your attention when you get frustrated over a few horsemen wiping your army all over the floor because you don't have any sense of generalship.
