None of the Plains tribes made any pottery since it was too heavy for nomadic people to transport easily and it was too easily broken in transit. The "Village Tribes" of the Upper Missouri (Mandans, Hidatsas and Arickaras) made pottery vessels, but they lived in semi-permanent villages so transport was not an issue.

The various Sioux tribes used containers of rawhide called parfleches, which were very lightweight. When traders made contact the Sioux began to obtain metal cooking-pots from them but they did not use pottery of any kind.

Where is Sioux pottery history?

Sioux pottery history primarily originates from the Great Plains, where the Sioux tribes traditionally created functional and ceremonial pottery. Unlike other Native American groups, the Sioux were less known for pottery making due to their nomadic lifestyle centered around hunting and gathering. However, there are instances of pottery being made by certain Sioux bands, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, influenced by contact with other tribes and the introduction of new materials. Today, Sioux pottery is recognized as an important aspect of their cultural heritage, often incorporating traditional designs and contemporary artistic expressions.
