The Dakotas are a Native American tribe, a sect of the Sioux, that used to live in and around what is now North and South Dakota. The region was known as the Dakota Territory, until it applied for statehood. The region was split in two, North and South, for political reasons.
South Dakota got its name for being the southern half of the Dakota Territory, originally named for the Dakota Sioux tribe which inhabited the area. The United States acquired the Dakota Territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
Dakota is a dialect of the Siouxan Languages and means "Alliance of friends." The other dialects are Nakota and Lakota.
