The Dakota tribes are Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton.
The Nakota tribes are Yankton and Yanktonai.
The Lakota (or Teton) tribes are Oglala, Brule, Minneconjou, Two Kettle, Hunkpapa, Sans Arc and Blackfoot Sioux (not the same as the Blackfoot of the far northern Plains).
Each tribe was divided into 7 huntings bands (tiyospayein Lakota), 7 being a sacred number among all of these tribes.

Each hunting band would have its own chiefs and each tribe had a council of elders; there were also war chiefs and temporary war-party leaders.

What is the Sioux Indians favorite food?
The Sioux Indians' diet consisted largely of meat.They also ate many wild fruits, nuts, and berries in addition to meat. Wild turnips, potatoes, and other roots were favorite foods which they added to soups. Meat wasn't always easy to get. Hunting was a difficult and dangerous job. A hunter often ate the raw liver of an animal as soon as he killed it. Its high nutritive value gave him the energy to butcher the meat and carry it back to his people.Sometimes they even ate members of their own tribe once they had passed away!
The buffalo was the Sioux Indians' main source of food. A single buffalo provided a great amount of meat, the bulls averaging 700 kilograms and the cows averaging 450 kilograms. The meat was sometimes roasted on a spit or broiled in a skinbag with hot stones. This process also produced a rich nutritious soup. Also meat might have been hung on green branches over the fire to cook. The Sioux Tribe used the buffalo for many other things and none of the buffalo got wasted.
The Sioux Indians used a very simple process for drying meat. They cut it into very small strips and hung it on racks or sinew lines to dry. This jerky was used for making soups. Wild plants were added when they were available. Sometimes the dried meat was pounded into a powder and mixed with dried pounded berries and melted fat. This became a favorite food called pemmican, which could be carried on long trips or stored for winter. Meat preserved this way could be stored for years

What is the Sioux word for little she bear?
The Lakota word mahto (in some modern orthographies written matho) is generic for any kind of bear, male or female. The word for little is chinchala, so mahto chinchala is "little bear" of either sex.
In order to emphatically specify a female bear you would need to add winyela, which can be used of humans or animals; if you are thinking about a female human being with the name "Little Bear" you would have to add -win to the end of the name.
So:
- mahto chinchala = a little bear
- mahto chinchala winyela = a little bear that is female
- mahto chinchalawin = a woman called Little Bear

What did the Indians call the valley of the little bighorn?
Your question supposes that all the natives of the area used the same place names, which is incorrect.
The Little Bighorn valley is entirely within the territory of the Crow tribe and they have many specific names for different places in the Little Bighorn Valley. For example Alaxkúpitche (Good River Bend), Ashkúalalitche (Good Middle Camp), Bilippítshuhke (Wide Ash Trees), Alachúa (Where It Is Narrow), Amníashipite (Black Cliff), Bilixawuá (Rumbling Water). The river itself is Iisaxpúatahcheeaashe Aliakáate (Small Bighorn Sheep River).
The Crows use the term Bikkaatashé (Greasy Grass) for an area between Lodge Grass and Rotten Grass Creek, Montana. This is named because of the nutritious grass found along the banks of this creek. It appears that the Sioux and Cheyenne give the name "Greasy Grass" to the Little Bighorn River area, although the true origin of this name is unknown.
