Years: 1500 - 2057
The Assiniboine (ah-SIN-ah-boin) (pl.
Assiniboines, Assiniboins, (esp.
collectively) Assiniboine, Assiniboin) or Hohe, also known by the Ojibwe name Asiniibwaan ("Stone Sioux"), and by the endonyms Nakota-Nakoda-Nakona, are a Siouan Native American/First Nations people originally from the Northern Great Plains of the United States and Canada.
In modern times, they have been based in present-day Saskatchewan; they have also populated parts of Alberta, southwestern Manitoba, northern Montana and western North Dakota.
They are well known throughout much of the late 18th and early 19th century.
Images of Assiniboine people are painted by such 19th-century artists as Karl Bodmer and George Catlin.
