What kind of dwelling did the Sioux live in?

Answer 1

That depends on which particular tribe of the Sioux you mean. The Sioux were divided into three dialect groups of tribes: Lakota, Nakota and Dakota - the Lakota or Teton Sioux were furthest west, the Nakota in the middle and the Dakota furthest east.

The Lakota or Teton tribes were the Oglala, Minneconjou, Brule, No Bows, Two Kettles, Blackfoot Sioux and Hunkpapa. These were nomadic buffalo hunters of the plains who only used tipis.

The Nakota tribes were the Yankton and Yanktonai. They used both semi-permanent earth lodges like the Mandan, and tipis when out hunting buffalo.

The eastern Sioux or Dakota were made up of the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton tribes. They lived in bark-covered longhouses with pitched roofs, like many of the woodlands tribes.
