There's a lot of romanticization of Sioux buffalo hunting culture. Basically the Sioux were driven out of the woods of Minnesosa and the Mississippi valley by brutal white man-driven wars with the Iroquois and Ojibway over the beaver trade, and were able to adapt to life on the plains thanks to aquiring guns and horses. However that made them too dependant on buffalo so they could be starved into submission and their culture destroyed by white men exterminating the buffalo.
