With the aid of mine detectors and by shear perseverance, thirty-three caches were unearthed from beneath the ground or in the recesses in such buildings as nurseries and shelters, including close on 600 weapons, including Brens and mortars, half a million rounds of ammunition, and a quarter ton of explosive.
The operation was named 'Shark' and was more ambitious than 'Agatha', for not only did the population have to be screened without warning but such essential services as the provision of food, the removal of rubbish, and the care of the sick would have to be maintained by military means for at least four days.
The conducting role was given to the 6th Airborne Division, with such other troops under command as required and the total engaged came to sixteen infantry battalions, three armoured, two artillery regiments, two field squadrons, a field ambulance, a divisional column of the R.A.S.C. and Military Police.

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- AGATHA CHRISTIE CLASSIC MYSTERY COLLECTION
The AGATHA CHRISTIE CLASSIC MYSTERY COLLECTION ($100) consists of a series of eight television movie adaptations of the author’s classic novels produced during the 1980s.
Featuring a bit more action and romance than the other Agatha Christie titles in the collection, THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT stars Stephanie Zimbalist as American Anne Beddingfield, who steps off a plane in Cairo and falls head first into a murder mystery involving diamond smugglers.
All of the films appear slightly different than the others, but all fall within the expectations of vintage television movies spanning from the beginning to the end of the 1980s.

I do believe that your hypothetical scenario has the Sioux and the Cheyenne operating some way outside of their historic homeland, but if they were engaged in armed resistance today I would approve of anything they did to defend their own lands - anything.
To take their campaign into the lands occupied by others is less clear cut - operating outside of one's own land and targeting civilians etc. is another form of warfare altogether.
