Correction


This is an incomplete list of Siouan tribes...


Generally the Sioux are divided into linguistic subgroups... the Nakota, the Lakota and the Dakota.




The Dakota are also called the Santee Sioux- which is subdivided into several bands... the Mdewakantonwon, the Wahpeton, the Wahpekute, and the Sisseton.


The Nakota, are divided into 4 main bands, and the Yankton the upper and lower Yanktonai Sioux and the Assinniboin.


And the Lakota, also called the Teton Sioux... which have the following bands... the Brule ( Sicangu) The Oglala, the Hunkpapa, the Minneconjou, the Blackfoot ( Sihasapa ) the Sans Arc[ the more common name for the 'without bows'] ( Itazipacola ) and the separate band known as the Two Kettle (Oohenupa )




Red Cloud and Crazy Horse were related and both from the Bad Faces band of the Oglala Sioux.
