The Northern Plains is a sub-area of the vast Plains geocultural area. Prairies and high plains characterize this enormous territory. It stretches from the Upper Mississippi River Valley to the Rocky Mountains, and from the Saskatchewan River Valley south to the Rio Grande. More precisely, the Northern Plains encompasses the southern half of Alberta and Saskatchewan and some parts of Manitoba, and take in parts of the states of Montana and North Dakota.

Groups such as the Niisitapiikwan, Assiniboine and Nehiyaw live in this geocultural area.
