Who is the chief of the souix now?
There are many Sioux tribes in the United States and each one has it's own leader. There is no one single Sioux Chief.
"Sioux" is not the name of a tribe or a language, but a whole group of related languages, split into the Lakota, Nakota and Dakota dialects.
"Siouan" refers to a very much larger family of distantly-related languages, including Hidatsa, Crow, Mandan, Assiniboine, Omaha and Winnebago.
In the Lakota dialect, the common word for the Sun is wi; in ceremonial, poetic language or ritual songs the word is anpewi.
In the Dakota dialect, the word is wi or anpetuwi (literally: the day sun).
Some words for Sun in other Siouan languages are:
Assiniboine.............................wi or ompawee'
Crow......................................Áxxaashe
Hidatsa...................................midi, miri, mapemidi
Mandan..................................minaki
Omaha/Ponca.........................min
Osage.....................................mi
Quapaw..................................mi
Oto..........................................bi
Winnebago..............................wira
Biloxi........................................ina'
Kansa......................................min
