A typical lakota tradition is the sun dance this is where a person from the tribe will be stored, starved and basically tortured. When they are being stored this is when they will be placed in a room with no food for several days and told to pray. Because of lack of food this will make them sweat which they believed to be sweating out there sin (bad side). After a few days then they would be taken outside and been cut open on the neck where they would thread a piece of rope through and then tied to a tree. Once all this had taken place then they would be forced to dance around a tree. Obviously the person would die (i cant really see the point behind but who am i to argue).

Actually, Custer was not ambushed at Little Big Horn. He purposely attacked a large Lakota/Cheyenne war camp led by Sitting Bull. Custer attacked hastily, against the advice of his scouts, afraid the camp would break apart and run before he could decisively engage them. Sitting Bull was not at the battle where Custer was killed. The ambush was lead by Crazy Horse.
What did the Lakota Indians sleep in?
Apache is pronounced "uh-PAH-chee." It means "enemy" in the language of their Zuni neighbors. The Apache are natives of the Southwest deserts particularly in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Most Apache people lived in wickiups, which are simple wooden frames covered by a matting of brush and sometimes a buffalo-hide tarp. Wickiups were small dwellings, often the size of a modern camp tent, and an Apache woman could build a new wickiup in two hours if there was enough brush available. The Plains Apaches and some Lipan Apaches used buffalo-hide tipis as housing instead, which are more spacious and easier to heat than wickiups.

Depends on the people. Custer had friends among the Crow tribe, but the Cheyenne and Sioux certainly had no reason to like him. Among the whites, some idolized Custer, and some absolutely despised him. He was generous toward his friends and family, but very remote and often harsh with others. Those who did not actually know him probably saw him as a hero and a great Indian fighter.

Do waves travel long distance?
Yes, waves can travel long distances, depending on their type and the medium through which they propagate. For example, ocean waves can traverse thousands of miles across the ocean before breaking on shore. Similarly, sound waves can travel over long distances in air, while seismic waves can move through the Earth's crust, covering vast distances during earthquakes. However, factors like energy loss, interference, and medium characteristics can affect how far waves can travel effectively.
What was the reason for Indians to fight at the battle of little bighorn?

Why are there no Sioux in Minnesota?
There are four Sioux (Dakota) communities in Minnesota and many more who live in urban areas. There are 60,000 Native people in Minnesota and a large portion are Sioux. 35,000 in the St Paul/ Minneapolis area. Probably another 40% list part native on the census. The US census does nt break it down by tribe.
The four communities in Minn. are:
Shakopee Mdewakanton, south of the Twin Cities
Prairie Island - near Red Wing
Lower Sioux -near Redwood Falls
Upper Sioux - near the city of Granite Falls
There are three main reasons why there are less Sioux in Minnisota than there might be.
1) Starting around 1640 the Ojibwe came in contact with the French. Through their friendship with the French traders, the Ojibwe gained guns. They drove their traditional enemies the Sioux to the west and out of much of Minnisota.
2)Smallpox. Around 1780 smallpox reached the Great Plains. The Comanche got it from the Spanish who brought it to the Shoshone , their close relatives. From there it spread north across the plains. By October 22nd, 1781,it was at a Hudson's Bay Company post on the North Saskatchewan River. It is recorded in at least thirteen different winter counts kept by plains Indians in the years 1779-83. Usually at least 1/3-1/2 of the population died.
3) The original Minnesota Dakota Community was established by treaty with the US in 1851. The treaty set aside a 10-mile wide strip of land on both sides of the Minnesota River as the permanent home of the Dakota. After the U.S.-Dakota Conflict of 1862, all treaties were torn up and the Dakota were forced from their homes in the state.
The four communities were reestablished in their current localities by acts of Congress in 1886. The four Dakota Communities today represent small segments of the original reservation that were restored to the Dakota by Acts of Congress or Proclamations of the Secretary of Interior.
