=========================================================
I suggest you read an excellent book entitled "Scalp Dance" written by Thomas Goodrich and published by Stackpole Books in 1997. This is full of the first-hand accounts of soldiers, settlers, railroad workers, buffalo hunters and others who had first-hand experience of the Lakota Sioux, Cheyenne and other Plains tribes as enemies. The testimonies cover kidnap, rape, murder of babies, mutilations, scalpings, torture and many more horrific deeds carried out by the natives.
From the points of view of these witnesses it is no wonder that the term "savages" was applied; from the points of view of the native tribes there was nothing they did to whites that was any different to what they did to their traditional native enemies, so for them all these things were normal in war.

How do Sioux Indians view time?
In the old days, I think Indians tribes measured time by the daily appearance of the moon in the sky (I'll be seeing you Tonto in 3 moons) and by phases of the moon (quarter, half, three-quarters and full), plus seasonal moon (such as harvest moon) and position in the sky. Frankly, I don't know whether the Sioux used the moon and/or the sun.
What did the Sioux Indians live in?
Sioux in the Great Plains lived in tepees. These tepees allowed them to follow the buffalo that they hunted. Like all Indians they weren't wasteful and used every part of the buffalo. Tepees were actually made of buffalo hide. They moved the tepees with poles called travois. One tepee could use up to forty buffalo. Tepees had special marking so it was easy to identify the family that lived there.
