"Sioux" is not the name of a tribe or a language, but a whole group of related languages, split into the Lakota, Nakota and Dakota dialects.
"Siouan" refers to a very much larger family of distantly-related languages, including Hidatsa, Crow, Mandan, Assiniboine, Omaha and Winnebago.
In the Lakota dialect, the common word for the Sun is wi; in ceremonial, poetic language or ritual songs the word is anpewi.
In the Dakota dialect, the word is wi or anpetuwi (literally: the day sun).
Some words for Sun in other Siouan languages are:
Assiniboine.............................wi or ompawee'
Crow......................................Áxxaashe
