hawk)  , a tribe of North American Indians of Siouan stock . They are now settled to the number of some 1800 on a reservation in southern Montana to the south of the Yellowstone river . Their original range included this reservation and extended eastward and southward, and no part of the country for hundreds of miles around was safe from their raids . They have ever been known as marauders and horse-stealers, and, though they have generally been cunning enough to avoid open war with the whites, they have robbed them when-ever opportunity served . Physically they are tall and athletic, with very dark complexions .
