Why or how the Sioux Indians won Battle of the little bighorn?
Only by not fighting a battle, as his orders specified. As he left General Terry's Montana Column on 22 June 1876, Terry told him not to go rushing in and to wait for the column to catch up if he found the enemy camp.
Custer replied "No I won't", which could have been agreeing with "don't go rushing in" or disobeying "wait for the column" - in the end he disobeyed and did not wait for the main body of troops.
On his own Custer had no chance of winning, no matter what he did.

Where did the Sioux live before the europeans came?
Almost nobody lived on the High Plains of North American until horses were introduced by the Spanish. The very few tribes that hunted buffalo on the Plains lived on the margins and used dogs for transportation, but without horses it was extremely difficult to follow herds across the vast distances involved.
In 1700 (some 200 years after Columbus arrived in the Bahamas) all the Sioux tribes were living around the Lake Traverse area of what is now South Dakota - not in the central Plains but on its eastern margins. They were under considerable pressure from the Ojibwe/Chippewa groups who were armed with guns supplied by French fur traders and were being forced to move westwards. At that time the Sioux had no guns and no way of obtaining them, so in military terms they were losing the arms race.
By 1780 they had moved further west towards the Black Hills, the more westerly tribes (the Teton Sioux) having obtained horses and adopted a Plains nomadic lifestyle.
So the answer is that some Sioux tribes (not all) lived in the central Plains from about 1760 or 1780 and were forced onto reservations about 100 years later.
It was the white people who created the Plains culture by providing access to horses; it was also white people who ended Plains culture by eliminating the buffalo herds, imposing the reservation system and destroying the nomadic lifestyle.
Counting coup was a battle practice of Native Americans of the Great Plains. A nonviolent demonstration of bravery, it consisted of touching an enemy warrior, with the hand or with a coup stick, then running away unharmed. Risk of injury or death was involved, should the other warrior respond violently. The phrase "counting coup" can also refer to the recounting of stories about battle exploits. It can also involve stealing items from the enemy. The term is of French origin from the verb couper, which means literally to cut, hit or strike. The expression can be seen as referring to "counting strikes". Coups were recorded by notches in the coup stick, or by feathers in the headdress of a warrior who was rewarded with feathers for an act of bravery. Counting coup was referred to in the Star Trek: The Next Generation first season episode, "Code of Honor".
What was the origin of the Sioux Indian tribe?
The Sioux Indians actually came to North America from the continent of Asia about 30,000 years ago.

The Sioux fought small scale skirmishes with other plains Indians on a regular basis, and engaged in larger scale, formal wars on occasion. They gained a great deal of honor and respect in warfare, and went on frequent raids. They typically used war clubs and tomahawks for in close fighting, and bows for long range fighting or fighting from horseback. They also used long spears for killing from horseback, and used guns and rifles in combat when they could get them, which was increasingly often as time went on.
Most of these battles were small scale skirmishes with few injuries, but they can and did engage in all out deadly warfare with both neighboring tribes and encroaching white settlers.
What best describes the outcome of the Battle of the Little Bighorn?
The Battle of the Little Bighorn marked the beginning of the end of the Indian Wars. Although the battle ended in an overwhelming native victory, the vast military technological superiority of the United States Army eventually turned the Native American insurgencies into their favor. There are multiple perspectives on the outcome of how the battle ended:
1. Perspective of the US:
Colonel George Custer led around 640 troops to battle that day against between 2,000 to 5,000 Native warriors. Custer was an extremely arrogant commander - one author described him as a "headstrong nincompoop" - who refused to take the advise of his fellow officers and was a glory seeker. He thought the best thing he could do was engage the Natives in one climactic battle. When Native spies reported sighting a large Sioux settlement Custer mobilized his force. Upon entering the battlefield he split his 640 men int o three companies. He led the first, obviously hoping to be accredited to appear to be leading his victorious glorious soldiers into battle. After dividing his small force into even smaller units spread out across the hills, the Natives overwhelmed Custer's position first and he and about 250 troops of his company were wiped out in one massive charge. The other two companies sustained heavy casualties but held out longer. Rather than calling a retreat, in the disarray the surviving soldiers fled the battle in mass panic. Public reaction to the situation was shocked, but the losses a Little Bighorn were only a minor setback for the US military who would eventually show to the Natives during the end of the war that sheer numbers weren't enough to turn the tide.
Perspective 2: The Natives
the Natives did not see this as a victory. Rather, they saw it as an enormous loss of life for no reason. They didn't see it as a battle but oddly a massacre. The very night after the battle, the Sioux and Cheyenne packed their belongings and moved their settlement away from Little Bighorn in fear of an American counterattack. By the time General Terry arrived to investigate the loss of the 7th Cavalry, all he found were dead soldiers. The Natives had fled. A fact suppressed for many years was that Custer evidently committed suicide when the situation became hopeless, as he died of a bullet wound to the temple, while an arrow had been pushed into his penis (almost certainly after death). By the time word from the battle reached other Native tribes it was too late to rally hope. The US soon pushed harder and more ruthlessly to achieve its Manifest Destiny.
The Native American won a decisive victory.

Did the tribe grow crops or harvest wild foods Sioux?
Sioux is not the name of a single tribe, but many related tribes. Only some of these were nomadic hunters.
The western division of the Sioux were called Teton or Lakota Sioux; they were the Oglala, Minneconjou, Brule, Two Kettle, No Bows, Hunkpapa and Blackfoot Sioux tribes. They lived on the Great Plains (which is the meaning of Teton) and could only survive by hunting large game animals such as antelope, deer and buffalo. They did not plant any crops, but often gathered wild plant foods.
The central Division were called Yankton or Nakota and they were made up of the Yankton and Yanktonai tribes.
The eastern division were the Santee or Dakota Sioux, made up of the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton tribes. Their homes were bark-covered longhouses.
The Yankton division lived on the edge of the plains and hunted only occasionally, growing some crops; the Santee division were much more agricultural and more like the woodlands tribes.
All three divisions spoke dialects of the same language.

Did a Sioux Indian tribe ever live in the state of Indiana and where?
Yes, the pre-contact population has been estimated at between 20,000 and 75,000 people. The name Indiana meant "Land of the Indians".
Here is a list of who lived there from 1650-1850:
Lenape, Kickapoo Shawnee, Miami, Mahican, Mascouten, Nantioke, Ojibwa (also called Chippewa), Ottawa, Piankeshaw, Potawatomi, Wea, Ho-Chunk(also called Winnebago), Wyandot, Tionantati/Petun.
Between the early 1830s and 1846 most of the native people were forcibly removed by the Pres. Jackson Administration. The largest tribe in the state, the Miami Tribe, was the last to be removed. Some of the Miami who had privately held lands stayed under the Treaty of St Marys' and eventually mostly married into other families.
Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians are the only group that had permission to stay. There are 3,634 today.
All the land owned, taxed, invested in, or rented, or used for parks or government buildings and the military, and all the natural resources and water in the State of Indiana is land that was forcibly taken by the US Government from tribal people.
This is a list of "Unrecognized" tribal groups in Indiana:
Indian Eel River Tribe, Lone Wolf Band of Cherokee Indians, Miami Nation of Indians of the State of Indiana, Northern Cherokee Tribe of Indiana, United Métis Tribe, Buffalo Spirit Band of the United Métis Tribe, Nimkii Band of the United Métis Tribe, Upper Kispoko Band of the Shawnee Nation, Wea Indian Tribe, Wea Indian Tribe of Indiana, The Zibiodey of Indiana.
