The three tribes are Lakota,Nakota and Dakota.

======================================================

Answer: Lakota, Nakota and Dakota refer to linguistic groupings, not tribes.

The tribes are as follows:

  • Mdewakanton
  • Wahpekute
  • Wahpeton
  • Sisseton

These are referred to as Dakotas or Santee Sioux.

  • Yankton
  • Yanktonai

These are Nakotas or Middle Sioux.

  • Oglala
  • Brule
  • Minneconjou
  • Two Kettle
  • Hunkpapa
  • Sans Arc
  • Blackfoot

These are called Teton Sioux or Lakotas.

Each tribe was split into separate bands (generally seven for each tribe, seven being a sacred number).
