SIOUX |
| Ontalink | > | Native Americans | > | The Sioux |
| The name, "Sioux" is a French rendering of the Ojibwa word nadewisou, meaning "treacherous snakes." The name was not meant as a compliment and was not until recently, by the Sioux. The Sioux referred to themselves as "An Alliance of Friends." In the Santee dialect, the name is pronounced, "Dakhota." In the Yankton dialect the name is "Nakhota." And, in the Teton dialect, we are the "Lakhota." The Lakhota, largest population of the three, come mainly from Rosebud, Pine Ridge, Lower Brule, Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Reservations. Contrary to popular belief, the Lakhota are not history. | ||
