I used to have an article about how the Pawnee insulted some Indians allied with the Iroquois. So, the Iroquois sent a war party, crossed from the New York Great Lakes area, way out on the High Plains of Nebraska and killed a bunch of Pawnee.

Then there was the two year raid by the Piegan Blackfoot who raided Durango MEXICO.
Andrew Garcia told how members of the Bannock tribe of the Idaho area went on a war raid so far south they said the people they raided all had big sombreros, black beards, and lived in mud brick houses.

MOHAWKS BUY ENGLISH & DUTCH GUNS, ATTACK CANADA & ATLANTIC COAST TRIBES
1640 Mohawks buy guns from the English `The inhabitants of Rensselaerwyck, who numbered at the time as many traders as individuals, noting the avidity with which the Mohawks sought after fire-arms, willingly paying the English twenty beavers for a musket, and from ten to twelve guilders for a pound of gunpowder, were desirous to share so profitable a trade. They commenced, accordingly, to furnish fire-arms to these Indians. The profits which accrued became soon known, and traders from Holland soon introduced large quantities of guns and other munitions of war into the interior. The Mohawks, thus provided with arms for four hundred warriors, swept the country from Canada to the seacoast, levying tribute on surrounding terror-stricken tribes.` 45
