Do Arranged Marriages Happen in Native American Culture?

Question

I'm a writer with Native American heritage, and lately I've been very into researching and exploring my Native American history. I'd like to write a story in which the characters are Native American, but need to know one thing: do arranged marriages happen in Native American culture? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere else, so if there's anyone who knows the answer or where I can find it, your answer would be much appreciated.
