On 29 December 1890 more than 300 men, women, and children were slaughtered by the troops of the 7th Cav. Regiment under the command of Colonel James Forsythe on the banks of Wounded Knee creek. The largely unarmed Lakota, who were on their way to convince another group to stand down hostilities, were cut down under the fire of four mobile artillery pieces and the regiment's rifles at point blank range. To add insult to injury, many of their bodies were not properly buried until more than three weeks afterward.

It’s a branch of Lakota Sioux, which is a group of North American Indians
They are the same tribe. The Sioux is a confederation of 7 tribes. The Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota. The Sioux are a proud people who dominated the plains. The horse allowed them to follow the Buffalo and to move with mobility. Although great warriors the family was the center of life. Today a majority of the Sioux live at Pine Ridge Reservation.
No. The people commonly called "Sioux" today are actually three groups of related tribes, grouped together by the dialect of language they spoke. These are termed the Dakota (the easternmost group), the Nakota (the central group) and the Lakota or Teton Sioux (the most westerly group).It is clear that all these terms are the same word: Dakota, Nakota and Lakota, but with dialect differences around the initial sound. Words that include a "d" in the Dakota dialect are pronounced with an "n" in Nakota, and an "l" in Lakota; otherwise the dialects are almost identical.So the Dakota and Lakota are both groups of Sioux, but geographically and linguistically distinct and separate.

The Dakotas were also called Lakota from the Lakota Sioux tribes in the northern plains. The Lakota peoples were the largest group in the region but many other tribes and bands were present including Blackfeet, Mandan, Hidatsa, Osage, and more.
"Sioux" is not the name of a tribe, but a large group of closely related tribes speaking almost the same language which are divided into three dialect groups: Lakota, Nakota and Dakota. The western Sioux (Lakota or Teton Sioux) were the Oglala, Brule, Minneconjou, Two Kettle, Hinkpapa, Sans Arc and Blackfoot Sioux, living in western South Dakota and south-western North Dakota. The central Sioux (Nakota, made up of the Yankton and Yanktonai) lived along the James River in the eastern part of North and South Dakota. The eastern Sioux (Dakota, made up of the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton) lived further east on the Big Sioux River and between Spirit Lake and Big Stone Lake in Minnesota. Only the western group (Teton or Lakota Sioux) are classed as Plains Indians; the others were only marginally Plains with elements of the Woodlands culture.
The Lakota Sioux are the Native American group most closely associated with the Black Hills region. This area, considered sacred by the Lakota, is located in present-day South Dakota and has significant cultural and historical importance to them. The Black Hills were the center of the Lakota's traditional territory, and they continue to seek recognition and restitution for their ancestral lands.
Sioux is not the name of a tribe but of a group of related tribes.The westernmost group are termed Lakota or Teton Sioux, consisting of the Hunkpapa, Oglala, Brule, Minneconjou, Two Kettle, No Bows and Blackfoot Sioux tribes, who all lived west of the Missouri river in North and South Dakota, often pushing further west into eastern Montana and Wyoming.The central group are called Yankton or Nakota Sioux, consisting of the Yankton and Yanktonai tribes of south-eastern South Dakota.The most easterly group were the Dakota Sioux, consisting of the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton tribes of south-west Wisconsin and the far eastern portions of South Dakota.

The term "Sioux" refers to a group of Native American tribes primarily located in the northern Great Plains of the United States and Canada. The name is derived from a French term that comes from a Sioux word meaning "little snakes." The Sioux Nation is composed of three major divisions: the Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota, each with their own distinct languages and cultures. Historically, the Sioux are known for their warrior culture and resistance to U.S. government policies during the 19th century.
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.
