No. The people commonly called "Sioux" today are actually three groups of related tribes, grouped together by the dialect of language they spoke. These are termed the Dakota (the easternmost group), the Nakota (the central group) and the Lakota or Teton Sioux (the most westerly group).
It is clear that all these terms are the same word: Dakota, Nakota and Lakota, but with dialect differences around the initial sound. Words that include a "d" in the Dakota dialect are pronounced with an "n" in Nakota, and an "l" in Lakota; otherwise the dialects are almost identical.
So the Dakota and Lakota are both groups of Sioux, but geographically and linguistically distinct and separate.
