Well one thing obvious is any Indian tribes version of history most likely differed considerably from our own.

For example, half of everybody dead of of a horrible disease like cholera in a single winter (seeded it is believed by the '49ers crossing Comancheria) was probably a major event to the Comanches, at the time it seems our guys hardly noticed, most likely because they didn't see it happen. Same thing with the extermination of vast numbers of Texas buffalo in that catastrophic drought.
