The Native Americans / First Nation people were always at war with each
other. Fighting over a berry patch or the plains areas. The Apaches
were in the Southwest desert because the Sioux had run them off the
fertile plains.

And the Sioux were on the plains because the Ojibwe/Chippewa forced them
out of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Though there were areas, usually with
bountiful resources, that the First Nations lived in peace. It's also
true, that some of the bloodiest battles were European inspired. The
Beaver Wars for example. There is a quite interesting First Nations
website with short histories of many tribes.
