Sioux women ( like all other tribes) are seen as equal as the men......the Sioux believe in the teachings of the medicine wheel, this means that all things are connected and part of the same circle, if anything on the circle becomes out of place then the entire wheel wobbles until it breaks, this helps us understand that everything in the world is one.....a example of this is that we breathe oxygen but exhale carbom dioxide while a tree breaths carbon dioxide but exhales oxygen. Just as the Sioux see everything in the world as being created by the great creator we see this in the same fashion as the women since the woman creates life. The women are seen as the keepers of a tribe, while men hunt and protect...the women maintain the tribe as a whole. Which this also goes back into the teachings of the medicine wheel in that all things are equal and all things are needed in order for the wheel of life to maintain it's movement. No one thing in life is greater than another.
