Best Answer

The Sioux fought small scale skirmishes with other plains Indians on a regular basis, and engaged in larger scale, formal wars on occasion. They gained a great deal of honor and respect in warfare, and went on frequent raids. They typically used war clubs and tomahawks for in close fighting, and bows for long range fighting or fighting from horseback. They also used long spears for killing from horseback, and used guns and rifles in combat when they could get them, which was increasingly often as time went on.

Most of these battles were small scale skirmishes with few injuries, but they can and did engage in all out deadly warfare with both neighboring tribes and encroaching white settlers.
