The word "Sioux" is derived from the French term "sue," which itself is a shortened form of the Ojibwe word "Nadouessioux," meaning "little snakes." Originally used to describe a group of Native American tribes, the term has often been associated with the Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota peoples. While "Sioux" is widely recognized, many members of these tribes prefer to use their own names for self-identification.
