How do you say good morning in Sioux language?
"Good morning" is not an expression used in any native American language.
In Lakota a man would greet another with "Hau, khola" (greetings, friend), or perhaps Tanyán yahà yélo (I am glad you came) or Aké iyúškinyan wancÃnyankelo (I am glad to see you again).
Was george Armstrong Custer married to a indian?
The wife of Lt Colonel George Armstrong Custer was Elizabeth (Libby) Custer, nee Bacon - they married in 1864 and were never divorced so he could not legally have married anyone else.
There have been stories circulating for some time that Custer had a Cheyenne mistress (not wife) named Maotzi or Monaseta, the daughter of Cheyenne chief Little Rock, who some claim had a child by Custer (a boy named Yellow Bird). This would have a bit more credibility if Maotzi or Monaseta were genuine Cheyenne names but they are not.
Since a fact is defined as something that can be supported by evidence, this story is not a fact but simply an entertaining story.
Did the Sioux have a growing season?
The Pueblos range from 4000 to 7000 feet in elevation so growing seasons vary. It general there is snow in the winter and a rainy season called the "monsoons" in the summer when thunder stroms s come up from Mexico. Growing season is from spring to summer.
What is the Lakota translation for beaver?
An interesting and far from simple question. The name sasquatch derives straight from Salish sésquac, meaning "a wild man" (it does not mean "big foot"); since it is apparently mainly confined to the north-west coast the Lakota do not appear to have any similar term for an unknown creature. Bigfoot sightings in the Lakota area can be counted on the fingers of one foot (!).
The insulting Lakota term wichashashni means "not human, deceitful", but this is used about humans, not mythical beasts. The Lakota term glugluka may best translate "wild man" but again it refers to humans (who are out of control).

Who led the calvalry defeated by the Sioux at the Battle of Little Bighorn?
The US Army's 7th Cavalry was led by General George Armstrong Custer with Crook, Gibbon, Benteen, Reno and Terry under his command. The Native forces were led by Crazy Horse, Gall, Bloody Knife, Black Elk and Curley. Medicine Man Sitting Bull was one of the elders in camp.
What kind of dwelling did the Sioux live in?
That depends on which particular tribe of the Sioux you mean. The Sioux were divided into three dialect groups of tribes: Lakota, Nakota and Dakota - the Lakota or Teton Sioux were furthest west, the Nakota in the middle and the Dakota furthest east.
The Lakota or Teton tribes were the Oglala, Minneconjou, Brule, No Bows, Two Kettles, Blackfoot Sioux and Hunkpapa. These were nomadic buffalo hunters of the plains who only used tipis.
The Nakota tribes were the Yankton and Yanktonai. They used both semi-permanent earth lodges like the Mandan, and tipis when out hunting buffalo.
The eastern Sioux or Dakota were made up of the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton tribes. They lived in bark-covered longhouses with pitched roofs, like many of the woodlands tribes.

What agreement did the Sioux accept in retun for peace under the fort laramie treatyof 1868?
That they would not be forced to move to a reservation
How did the Indians adapt to the great plains?
The vast herds of buffalo that lived on the plains were the main resource of food, clothing, and shelter for the plains Indians. Their meat provided most of their diet, and their hides were made into clothing, and portable tents called teepees.
What tools did the santee Sioux tribe use?
Lakota, Nakota and Dakota women used the same kinds of tools as all the neighbouring tribes for digging wild roots, preparing food and treating hides.
Hide scrapers (wahintka in Lakota) were made from buffalo bone or elk antler with a flint or iron blade attached using buffalo sinew; this tool was used to scrape the hair and fatty tissue from deer, antelope, elk and buffalo hides.
"Berry mashers" (ichashki or ihunnichatha) were small stone-headed hammers used for pounding dried meat with fat and berries to make pemmican, a food stuff that would remain edible for many months.
Digging sticks (hunphe) were sticks hardened and sharpened at one end, used for digging wild turnips and other roots.
An awl (thahinshpa) of deer bone or iron was used to punch holes in leather for sewing; needles were not needed since the dampened sinew thread was left dry and hard at one end which acted as its own needle.
How was the Sioux Indians organized and governed?
Different tribes had different systems of government. The most common form of governance of smaller tribes involved a council of elders. The eldest members of the tribe voted on decisions and elected a main leader to organize the council. However, the Iroquois had a confederacy of five different large tribes. These tribes banned together under a constitutional democracy that lasted for hundreds of years before America. The leaders of these tribes often met with founding fathers such as Washington and Benjamin Franklin and heavily influenced the American constitution and governmental system.
