I’ve read how the Iroquois left the New York area, went on a war raid and attacked a band of Pawnees on the High plains, all because the Pawnees had insulted or whipped some tribe friendly to the Iroquois.

One of the white captives kidnapped as a kid by Comanches in Texas and held for years told of the amazing distances that his band ranged over during his time with them.

BTW, Indian Depredations in Texas by Josiah Wilbarger written in the 1870s is a fascination 600 page account of the majority of attacks from the late colonial era up to his time.
