Best Answer

The Sioux nation was originally called the Dakota. Eventually the Dakota broke off into 3 groups known as Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota.

The East coast Sioux tribes came from the Nakota tribe. The East coast Sioux tribes had two main Nations known as the Saponi and the Catawba.

The name Sioux refers to all tribes which spoke of the Siouan language (the variations of this language varies from tribe to tribe).

One of the most famous Sioux groups was known as the Lakota.

The Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Saponi, and Catawba all was made up of many other tribes. It is known that some of the Creek Indians even spoke a form of the Siouan language.
