None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Lakota were located in and around present-day Minnesota when Europeans began to explore and settle the land in the 1600s. Living on small game, deer, and wild rice, they were surrounded by large rival tribes. Conflict with their enemy, the Ojibwa eventually forced the Lakota to move west.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Lakota people lived in large buffalo-hide tents called tipis (or teepees). Tipis were carefully designed to set up and break down quickly.

Detailed explanation-3: -Historic tribes most frequently associated with earth lodges are the Pawnees, Mandans, Hidatsas, Arikaras, Otoes, Kansas (or Kaw), Omahas, and Poncas. In what would become the state of Kansas the tribes that lived in earth lodges were the Pawnees and the Kansas.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tipis were used mainly by Plains Indians, such as the Lipan Apache, Comanche and Kiowa, after the Spanish introduced horses into North America about 500 years ago. Plains Indians groups moved across the Great Plains following migrating herds of buffalo that ranged from Canada to Texas.
