n., pl. Sihasapa or -pas. In both senses also called Blackfoot, Blackfoot Sioux.
Wikipedia:
Sihasapa
The Sihasapa are a division of the Titonwan, or Teton, a Sioux tribe from the Tetons.
Sihasapa is the Lakota word for "Blackfoot", whereas Siksiká has the same meaning in the Blackfoot language. Therefore, both nations have the same English name "Blackfoot" and are confused very often.
The Sihasapa lived near the western Dakotas, in what was called the Great Plains, and consequently were members of the Plains Indians.
