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.
1861 until 1879 with the final battle of Little Big Horn. On Dec. 24, 1861 the largest mass hanging of Dakota Sioux took place at Ft. Laramie. The U.S. army had arrested over 300 Sioux warriors and intended to hang them. Ten warriors had attacked a settler and his family, but they couldn't figure out who so they arrested all of them. Lincoln stepped in and stopped the hanging of the 300, but 30 were hung instead. One of the men hung was a chief named Cut Nose. This event was pretty much the start of war for the Sioux.

The Quapaw were a division of a larger group known as the Dhegiha Sioux many years ago. I got this information directly form the Quapaw tribe website.
The Sioux Indians are actually broken up into 3 different groups: the Dakota, the Lakota, and the Nakota. Most of them were not farmers or hunters, but led a nomadic life. I know for sure that the Lakota followed their main source of food around, the buffalo.
Itβs a branch of Lakota Sioux, which is a group of North American Indians
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.
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 tipi was historically used by several Native American tribes across North America, with variations in design and construction. It is difficult to attribute the invention of the tipi to a single individual as it evolved over time through indigenous practices and needs.

Sioux is language spoken in Dakota. Example: who speaks Sioux nowadays?
Dances with Wolves is a 1990 American epic western film based on the book of the same name which tells the story of a Civil War-era United States Army lieutenant who travels to the American frontier to find a military post, and his dealings with a group of Lakota. They are part of a confederation of seven related Sioux tribes and speak Lakȟóta, one of the three major dialects of the Sioux language. The Lakota Nation includes the native peoples who once lived in the northern forests and along the upper Mississippi River in northern Minnesota.
