The term "Sioux" refers to a large group of related tribes, some of whom belonged to the Plains culture, while others did not.

The Sioux tribes are grouped into three divisions according to the dialect they speak:

  • the eastern Sioux or Dakotas
  • the central Sioux or Nakotas
  • the western Sioux or Lakotas (also called Teton Sioux)

It is the western or Teton Sioux that belonged to the Plains culture, living on the Great Plains and entirely dependent on horses for hunting, growing no crops of any kind.

The Teton Sioux tribes are:

  1. Oglala
  2. Brule
  3. Minneconjou
  4. Two Kettles
  5. Hunkpapa
  6. Sans Arc
  7. Blackfoot Sioux

The Blackfoot Sioux (who today live on the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock reservations in South Dakota) have no connection at all with the Blackfoot tribe.

What did the Sioux Indians live in?

Sioux in the Great Plains lived in tepees. These tepees allowed them to follow the buffalo that they hunted. Like all Indians they weren't wasteful and used every part of the buffalo. Tepees were actually made of buffalo hide. They moved the tepees with poles called travois. One tepee could use up to forty buffalo. Tepees had special marking so it was easy to identify the family that lived there.

Who is the plains Indians' god?

The Plains Indians followed no single religion. Animist religion was an important part of a Great Plains Indians' life, as they believed that all things possessed spirits. Their worship was centered on one main god, in the Sioux language Wakan Tanka(the Great Spirit). The Great Spirit had power over everything that had ever existed, and the Plains Indians believed that by worshiping him they would become stronger. Earth was also quite important, as she was the mother of all spirits. Spirits were worshiped daily. People sometimes prayed alone, while other times there were group gatherings. The most important group ceremony was the Sun Dance, in which participants danced for four days around a sacred object, and some would inflict harm upon themselves on purpose, all while staring at the sun. They believed this self-sacrifice would encourage powerful spirits to support and defend them.
