Lakota

Re: Lakota

Actually that's not correct.

The "Lakota" is one of seven northern plain tribes later known as the "Sioux". Although they do speak "Lakhota" or a dialect thereof, they are also known as the Lakota. What do you think they were called prior to the French naming them "The Sioux"?

The seven tribes are: (English spellings)

Hunkpapa (Sitting Bull)
Oglala (Red Cloud)
Sicangu
Itazipco
Miniconjou
Siksika (These are also known as the Blackfoot Sioux but not to be confused with the Blackfoot tribe of North Montana.
Waniwacteonilla

Standing River is the Hunkpapa reservation exclusively. However, The Cheyenne River reservation borders the traditional lands of the Hunkpapa, itazipco, blackfoot sioux (Siksika), miniconjou going from north to south. I'm sure they feel they are all Lakota, under their individual tribes, and then they will most likely have a "clan", which are units within the tribes. You should ask them.
 
Re: Lakota

I will do that tommorow i also remeber them saying that the sioux ran the arikira (sp) out of misouri river area around mobridge sd. I know arikira artifacts have been found during low water times on Oahe. It is cool to here the storys that the older guys can tell that the elders have told them.

The Arikira is a different story as they weren't nomadic like the Lakota. They were closer to the Mandan and Hidatsa, who were actually "cousins" of the Crow or "Absorokee" who were mortal enemies with the Lakota. They actually served as scouts along with the Crow for Custer.

The Arikira are loosely related to the Pawnee, which are normally south of the Lakota but were forced north up to North Dakota by tribal warfare and the lack of a nomadic society. Plus, they were nearly wiped out by small pox.
 
Re: Lakota

The Cheyenne River Reservation is Lakota, made up mostly of the bands, Minnecojou, Sans Arc, Siksika or Blackfoot Sioux and Waniwacteonilla or Two Kettles.

Standing Rock is both Lakota, and Dakota, they have primarily the Lakota band of Hunkpapa as well as Western Dakota bands of Yankton and the Yanktonai.

Divided decisively by the Missouri river.

Also on a side note that may be irrelevant some of the tribes do not "like" the French names, i.e. Sioux, Two Kettles and Sans Arc. I'm not criticizing what Rob said, only pointing out a little trivia.
 
Re: Lakota

There were so many tribes that were eather wiped out thru war, the white man or sickness, those few who did survive were taken in by the tribes that were left standing strong. Those were many sad years for some very proud people yet thru all the suffering the tribes are still standing tall against the odd's given to them. Mike has a vast knowledge of the many Nations up that way and it would be an honner to sit and talk to him some day before it is time for me to cross over.If that happens my lodge will be open to him and all who come by as long as they have peace in there hearts and pray for peace, health and happiness. a ho

Yeah, in most cases they are not too fond of the nicknames the French traders hung on them. They are a proud people, not deserving of the crap that they have suffered over the years. I've seen both extremes, I personally know some of the best, and as a cop I've dealt with some of the worst.
