  The Arikara Tribe - Indians With Horns
When the Arikara left the body of their kindred in the southwest they were associated with the Skidi, one of the tribes of the Pawnee confederacy.
The Arikara bartered corn with the Cheyenne and other tribes for buffalo robes, skins, and meat, and exchanged these with the traders for cloth, cooking utensils, guns, etc. Early dealings with the traders were carried on by the women.
The Arikara were equally tenacious of their language, even though they were next-door neighbors to the Sioux tribes for more than a century, living on terms of intimacy and intermarrying to a great extent.

  Arikara War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arikara (a Native American nation also called Arikaree or Ree) warriors attacked a trapping expedition travelling on the river.
First, it was the first military conflict between the United States and the western Native Americans, setting the tone for future encounters with the Crow and Blackfeet.

 The Arikara War - The First Plains Indian War
The Arikara, also known as the Arikaree or Ree Indians, were a semi-nomadic group who lived in tipis on the plains of South Dakota for several hundred years.
Though the Arikaras were never noted for their friendliness to white settlers, all hell would break loose when a chief’s son was killed by a trading company employee.
In the 1830's, the Arikara were almost destroyed by small pox and in the end, were forced from their lands by the Sioux in the 1870's.

The Arikaras are at war with the Crow Indians and Mandans andc.
The Arikaras have a custom similar to the Sioux in many instances, they think they cannot show a sufficient acknowledgement without giving to their guest handsome squaws and think they are despised if they are not received.
I also told the Arikaras that I was very sorry to hear that they were not on friendly terms with their neighbors the Mandans and Hidatsas and had not listened to what we had said to them but had suffered their young men to join the Sioux who had killed 8 Mandans andc.

 Native Americans - American Indians - The First People of America; History of Native American Tribes
The conflicts led to the Indian Wars, the Indian Removal Act empowered by President Andrew Jackson in 1830 and other acts instituted by the Europeans in order to accomplish their objectives, as they viewed them at the time.
In these wars the Indian tribes were at a great disadvantage because of their modest numbers, nomadic life, lack of advanced weapons, and unwillingness to cooperate, even in their own defense.
The last major war was not really a war, it was a massacre in 1890 where Indian warriors, women, and children were slaughtered by U.S. cavalrymen at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in a final spasm of ferocity.

The Arikara were, on the whole, friendly with the white people, but after an engagement with a group of fur traders under the leadership of Ashley in 1822, they were driven from their village on Cottonwood Creek, by General Leavenworth in 1823.
Thus the Arikara rejoiced when they heard that some white men had broken a Sioux blockade and were headed their way.
The Arikara did not yet know their chief had died peacefully, and the Americans did not know the Arikara and Mandan were at war that summer.

The Arikara are thought to have migrated to the Missouri River Basin centuries ago.
The Arikara were never able to create a stable political structure; literally, there were "too many chiefs and not enough Indians." Internal power struggles affected their relations with other tribes and eventually "Whites" who came to the area.
The Arikara thus gained the reputation of being violent, unpredictable, untrustworthy, not the kind of people to establish permanent trade agreements with.

As mentioned the Revolutionary War was much longer, costlier in US lives as a portion of population (something like 10% of the then current population) and took forever to get a real government in place.
The Barbary Wars took a bit longer to finally get sorted out, didn't last that way and only really ended once the Ottoman Empire took over, so the initial problem of tribute to Muslims was ended, but only by a larger State taking over the place.

In 1823, at the height of the fur trade, Arikara warriors attacked an American trapping expedition on the Missouri River in what is now South Dakota.
The result was the defeat of the Arikara and a debate between Americans advocating the firm subjugation of the Native Americans and those who held to more pacific and accommodationist philosophies.

On June 2, 1823, the Ashley party was attacked at the Arikara village in present north-central South Dakota and was forced to retreat after suffering a number of killed and wounded.

The 1823 defeat by the Arikara, and a series of events which followed in the summer and fall of 1824, prompted William H. Ashley to take steps which would revolutionize the operation of the western fur trade.

The Arikara War would become the harbinger of things to unfold in both commercial and political developments and their impact upon America's Western regions.
This would be a far more important factor in the decline of Arikara influence than the expedition of General Henry Leavenworth and a military detachment and a group of Sioux Indians against the Arikara nation.
The result was the defeat of the Arikara and a debate between Americans advocating the firm subjugation of the Native Americans and those who held to more pacific and accommodationist philosophies.
