How did the Lakota use a coup stick?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First I would like to note that the Sioux were not the only tribe to use the Coup Stick.

Also note that the concept has been perverted by European settlers.

"Counting Coup" was a method of battle used by many of the horse tribes. It consisted of using the stick to tap or touch an opponent during battle. To prove a concept, of : "I could have killed you but chose not to" (as a basic example). Rank was assigned by the danger involved in each act.

European settlers would often attack after this was done, and this is dishonorable and often resulted in an all out attack against the settlers.

What is Lakota words for Talking Crow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Lakota word for a crow (bird) is kangi(with a nasal "a" sound).

There are many different verbs for "to talk", each with a different shade of meaning that is dificult to express in English. Woyag means "talking or telling things", woich'iglakAmeans to talk about oneself, akhiyA is to talk in a group, howayA is to talk intensely without stopping, and so on.

Kangi woyag would therefore mean "a crow bird that tells things".

The Lakota are part of the larger Sioux Confederacy which was mostly in the Great Plains states. Stretching from the Dakotas over to New Mexico, the Sioux Nation was the most populous of the Native American Tribes. The Lakotas were in the Dakotas, migrating with the herds. In their territory was Bison, Deer, Elk, Bear, Moose, Beaver, Geese, Ducks and seasonal fruits, berries, nuts and vegetables. They lived completely off the land and yet were in harmony with it. Their religion centers around Creation myths with animal-based Gods and super-human heroes. Twins also play a prominent role in their culture as do people with six-fingered hands, dwarfs and Down's Syndrome. People like this were often trained as Shamans. A great book from their perspective is "Black Elk Speaks" and is a profound work of sublime understanding of the Natural world and how they interpreted their role in it.

What is the Lakota translation for family?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is my understanding that the words "Dakota" and or "Lakota" mean "People Together," and there would most likely not be a word for "team" - conceptually this would make those two words the same as "team." Please note I am not a Lakota speaker, if the above answer is not correct and you are a Lakota speaker feel free to erase it and replace it with correct information.

Asked by Wiki User

The Sioux nation as with all Native American nations proudly have their own traditions and customs. These include religious traditions and an understanding of customary stories that are passed down from generation to generation. They also have a traditional language to go along with the English that is spoken by much of the tribe.

Nothing, since it is a Dakota Sioux word - but it is spelled koda. In Lakota it would be kola. Cola is a drink such as Coke or Pepsi. Both koda and kola means friend.

Is Dakota and lakota the same thing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What is lakota?

Asked by Wiki User

Lakota is the name given to the western dialect of the Sioux language (the middle dialect was Nakota, the eastern dialect Dakota).

Tribes speaking Lakota are also called the Teton Sioux, from the Lakota term tetonwan, meaning "dwellers on the Plains". They consisted of the Brule, Oglala, Hunkpapa, Minneconjou, Two Kettles, No Bows and Blackfoot Sioux tribes. The Blackfoot Sioux have no connection at all with the Blackfoot of Montana, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
