The Sioux were never a single tribe but a collection of 7 related tribal groups:
- Mdewakanton
- Wahpekute
- Wahpeton
- Sisseton
- Yankton (Ihanktonwan)
- Yanktonai
- Teton
The largest of these (and the most well-known) were the Teton Sioux, subdivided into the Oglala, Brule, Minneconjou, Two Kettle, Hunkpapa, Sans Arcs and Blackfoot Sioux.
The idea that any of these groups had any kind of tribal symbol is ridiculous; only in very recent times have the different native American groups designed flags for themselves with a wide range of traditional symbols incorporated. None of these flags existed during the 19th century and most have only been used since the 1960s.
