Best Answer

Lakota is the name given to the western dialect of the Sioux language (the middle dialect was Nakota, the eastern dialect Dakota).

Tribes speaking Lakota are also called the Teton Sioux, from the Lakota term tetonwan, meaning "dwellers on the Plains". They consisted of the Brule, Oglala, Hunkpapa, Minneconjou, Two Kettles, No Bows and Blackfoot Sioux tribes. The Blackfoot Sioux have no connection at all with the Blackfoot of Montana, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
