The Mandans lived in lodges.Not the Kiowas.
Lewis and Clark spent their first winter of the expedition at Fort Mandan, which they built. It was named for the local tribe, the Mandans. That is also where they met Charboneau and Sacagawea, who became the expedition's translators.
they were the most powerful tribe
The Mandans, a Native American tribe primarily located in present-day North Dakota, traditionally lived in earth lodges. These structures were built using wooden frames covered with earth and grass, providing insulation against harsh weather. The lodges typically featured a central hearth for cooking and heating, with a smoke hole at the top for ventilation. This communal living arrangement fostered social interaction and cooperation within the tribe.

As you phrased your question in the present tense there is no simple answer. The last full-blood Mandan died in 1971, so it is considered by some people that the tribe is extinct; the very last fluent speaker of the Mandan language is currently 80 years old. On the other hand there are many natives descended from mixed marriages between Mandans, Hidatsas and Arikaras (and other races) in the area of New Town, North Dakota, and throughout the USA and Canada. Are these people truly Mandans - for example if they are half Mandan, half Hidatsa, why are they not counted as Hidatsa? There is scope for much debate on the question of tribal affiliations, but the end result is that there is no simple answer.
The mandans lived in the plains area of North Dakota, particulary in the big bend region on the Missouri river
yes
Aztecs.........i think
no
The Lakota Tribe were the most powerful of the plains Native American groups. They settled in present-day North and South Dakota.
