Best Answer

The Lakota word for "two" is nunpa or nupa, always placed after the noun it describes.

There are (not surprisingly) many different words for "feather" depending on the type of bird, wing or tail feather, large or small feather and whether the feather is placed on the body or on an arrow.

The tail feathers of an eagle are wanblupi.

A feather worn in the hair is aopazan.

Large bird feathers from wings are shun

A feather in general is wiyakA.

A soft down feather worn in the hair by a warrior is wachhinhin

So the (theoretical) translation of "two feathers" depends on many factors; two versions might be:

wanblupi nunpa (literally "two eagle tail feathers").

aopazan nunpa (literally "two feathers worn in the hair").

What relationship the Sioux tribe have?

Sioux is not the name of a tribe - it refers to a large number of related tribes speaking dialects of the same language. The westernmost Sioux were the Lakotas or Tetons, made up of the Oglala, Minneconjou, Two Kettle, No Bow, Hunkpapa and Blackfoot Sioux tribes. Clearly they each had their own distinct relationships, as did the central and eastern Sioux tribes. You need to be more specific.
