The eastern Sioux tribes (the Dakota division of the Sioux) were farmers who certainly grew maize and other crops, unlike their western Lakota relatives. Most agricultural tribes had ceremonies aimed at increasing fertility and producing more crops, but I can find no reference to a particular Corn Dance among the Dakota tribes.

A "Corn Dance Song" (Shoko Otiikwe) is recorded for the Zuni tribe and an elaborate ritual (the Green Corn Festival) is recorded for the Creeks of the south-east.
