"Sioux" is not the name of a tribe or a language, but a whole group of related languages, split into the Lakota, Nakota and Dakota dialects.
"Siouan" refers to a very much larger family of distantly-related languages, including Hidatsa, Crow, Mandan, Assiniboine, Omaha and Winnebago.
In the Lakota dialect, the common word for the Sun is wi; in ceremonial, poetic language or ritual songs the word is anpewi.
In the Dakota dialect, the word is wi or anpetuwi (literally: the day sun).

The Sioux and their religion are important to them and to what they believe in, they believe in the Great Spirit (Wakan tanka), the circle of life and the sun dance and so on. In my opinion I think that the Sioux are really actually religious, this is because they do religion practices and have many beliefs and following it in a prescribed sequence.
Early explorers learned about the Sioux tribe's advanced horsemanship skills, hunting techniques, and their way of life as nomadic hunter-gatherers. They also learned about the Sioux's deep connection to the land and their distinct cultural practices such as the Sun Dance ceremony.
the kind of ceremonies the Sioux were sun dance ceremonies.
