How do you say wind in the Lakota Sioux language?
Asked by Wiki User
Dogs in general have no "native language" nor do they ever truly understand words as humans do. That being the case, it is still possible to teach dogs commands in any language, given the appropriate physical associations and vocal tones. Dogs understand changes in pitch better than the words themselves, so as long as you're consistent, your dog will learn.
As for the command "sit," One of the beat ways to go about it is to hold one of your hands above the dog's head with a treat inside. As your dog looks up towards that hand gently (but firmly) push the rear end of your dog down with your other hand while speaking "SIT" (or the Sioux equivalent). And reward with the treat as positive reinforcement.

Did the Sioux Indians have money?
Asked by Wiki User
The Sioux Indians made many contributions to try and gain peace with the Americans when they were trying to settle the western states. The Sioux Indians also lost much of their homeland and hunting grounds when the Americans came and slaughtered nearly all of the buffalo herds just for their fur.
Why is the Battle of the Little Bighorn also called Custer's Last Stand?
Asked by Wiki User
the battle of big horn begun due to the cinstant ancient feud between the two households
The battle of little big horn happened because the Government was trying to strip the Native American lands away from them and move them to a reservation, so they had a proclaimation that stated by Jan . 1876 (I believe). ALL native Americans must report to the Indian agency or be considered hostiles. Gen. Custer led an expedition to Black Hills in 1874 and found gold there , so naturally the white people wanted it .
Also the Indians didn't read newspapers back then so they didnt know of the proclaimation . Gen. Custer Under Gen. Terrys command as well as Gen. Gibbons, and Gen . Crook would combine forces from three directions to capture the Native Americans in one place. The U.S. Army started from three different Forts, and on June 26th they were to meet at the Little Big Horn valley in Montana. Ge. Crokk was beaten back by Crazy horse's band and retreated but due to miscomunications , no one knew of Crooks defeat. Custer advanced faster than the rest and it was his plan to attack on the 26th , but some Natives found his force on the 25th and he decided to attack as word would make the encampment flee. so he decided to divide or try to contain the Natives with his small force, and was wiped out. The other troops that were to help him in this engagement were to arrive a full two days late. So That is why the battle of the little big horn took place. Native Americans have lived on this soil at lot longer than us whites or europeans have, and although we made promises and treaties most of them were never honored, or were honored until they found something the land held that could make people rich. Its a sad portion of our history,
one will still havent resolved correctly ! And I speak as someone who is related to Gen. Custer.

Who did the Sioux Indians worship?
Asked by Wiki User
Please refer to the Iroqois Indians religion question.
There was no such word for 'religion' before the Europeans arrived. What the white men see as 'religion' is only a way of life for the Native American. In today's society is our way to be gluttons and hunt for sport; in the old days the Native Americans hunted only what they needed. That was their way of life; to respect the animals and not abuse them.

How do you say peace in Sioux language?
Asked by Wiki User
The Lakota, (depending on the tribe for the spelling and pronunciation), prefer not to say good bye, but rather, I'll see you soon, or "I'll see you again someday" which is spoken in an abbreviated way, "Toksha". I think the spelling is Toksha Ake.
In all actuality, there really is no word for goodbye in Lakota, for that would mean the hoop of love and connectedness would be broken. But rather, "travel well" or as I've stated, "I'll see you again". Please feel free, those of native language fluency to add or correct me on this!
Mitakuye Oyasin!

Were the Sioux a warring tribe?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes.
Almost all native American tribes waged war against other tribes competing for the same resources.
The Sioux in particular originated as a woodland tribe from the vicinity of Lake Superior, but spread South and West, and this expansion greatly accelerated once they acquired the horse.
Thru Minnesota into Wisconsin to the South, but most aggressively thru the Dakotas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana.
In doing so they displaced other tribes such as the Flathead, the Pawnee and the Crow, with whom they continually warred.

What jobs did the women do in the Sioux tribe?
Asked by Wiki User
The Chippewa or Ojibwé were broken up into 7 Clans in the old days before and shortly after the coming of Europeans. Each Clan was actually an occupation, not unlike Tailor, Baker, or Smith. Men did not participate in any of the Governing of the Tribe.
Both boys and girls were taught how to do all of the chores in the village, but as the boys became men, except for the Bear Clan, went out to hunt big game, act as messengers to other villages, and fight, after wars came to our People. The responsibilities of the Bear Clan men was to stay close to the Village and protect it from enemy warriors and animals. They also learned the medicinal properties of various plants and marked or gather what the woman healers wanted.
If a man was injured, he helped the women in whatever he could do to help, if even to watch the children while the women worked.
Here is the Big One. Those who were gay were considered gifted by The Great Goddess, Nicomis. The masculine gays stayed men in every way, but the feminine guys were considered women in all respects. A gay feminine man gained the right to govern as well as all the rights of a woman. A gay masculine woman lost her rights as a woman.

Who brought the Horse to the Indians?
Asked by Wiki User
The horses were already there for the indians.
How did Sioux people travel?
Asked by Wiki User
The Sioux Indians were nomadic people that typically followed the buffalo. This assured them that there would be food and clothing wherever they traveled. They traveled by foot until the Spanish introduced them to horses in the 1500â??s.
Why did the Sioux fight with the crow and Pawnee tribes?
Asked by Wiki User
Sioux braves gained great honor in taking part in warfare. Counting coup (the touching of an enemy) was a honorable achievement. It wasn't the killing of an enemy, but getting so close to him that he could touch him which was proof of his bravery. Also warfare was for gaining horses and food for wealth and staying alive. Also, one had to protect his family and village against raiding enemy tribes. So, that is why Sioux warriors took part in warfare.

Battle of Little Big horn weapons?
Asked by Wiki User
Lakota weapons were just the same as those of their neighbours on the Great Plains, the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crows, Blackfoot and others - the differences were in decoration and sometimes the types of materials used.
Missile weapons were limited to bows and arrows, with spears, clubs, knives and hatchets for hand-to-hand fighting. Circular hide shields were often carried; these were generally quite small and usually between 17 and 23 inches across (43 to 59 cms).
The arrival of White traders made metal arrowheads, knife blades and axes available; knife blades were sometimes set in a large wooden handle to make a fearsome war club. Guns of various types were also obtained in trade, though often with very limited supplies of ammunition.
Lakota warriors would often carry "non-weapons", including coup sticks, crooked lances and feathered staffs which had religious, status and warrior society significance. Simply striking an enemy ("counting coup") with a decorated stick was considered more of an achievement than killing him from a distance, since he was still in a position to fight back.

Where were the Sioux villages located?
Asked by Wiki User
The Sioux Nation is made up of several different groups.
The Yankton Reservation (Yankton Sioux) was established in 1858 and is located in Charles Mix and Douglas Counties in southeastern South Dakota.
The Crow Creek Reservation (Dakota, Lakota) was established in 1862 in parts of Buffalo, Hughes, and Hyde counties on the east bank of the Missouri River in central South Dakota.
The Santee Sioux Reservation (Santee Sioux or Eastern Dakota) was established in 1863 in present day Knox County, Nebraska.
The Great Sioux Reservation, as established by the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 included all of western South Dakota and what is now Boyd County in Nebraska. This Great Sioux Reservation was for the Teton Sioux (Lakota). In 1889, the US Congress passed another act which partitioned the Great Sioux Reservation into five smaller reservations:
- the Standing Rock Reservation (Lakota, Yanktonai, and Dakota) (which included land in modern North Dakota which had not been part of the Great Sioux Reservation), with its agency at Fort Yates
- the Cheyenne River Reservation (Lakota), with its agency on the Missouri near the mouth of the Cheyenne River (later moved to Eagle Butte following the construction of Oahe Reservoir)
- the Lower Brule Reservation (Lakota), with its agency near Fort Thompson
- the Upper Brule or Rosebud Indian Reservation(Sicangu Oyate or Lakota), with its agency near Mission
- the Pine Ridge Reservation (Oglala Sioux), with its agency at Pine Ridge near the Nebraska Border
The Sisseton-Wahpeton Reservation or Lake Traverse Reservation (Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux) was established in 1889 and is located in northeastern South Dakota.
The Fort Berthold Reservation (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara) was established in 1870 and is located in North Dakota on the Missouri River in McLean, Mountrail, Dunn, McKenzie, Mercer and Ward counties.
The Fort Peck Indian Reservation (Assiniboine, Yanktonai) was established in 1888 and is located in northeastern Montana.
The Flandreau Santee Sioux Reservation (Dakota) was established in 1929 and is located near Flandreau, South Dakota.

What state was the battle of the little bighorn fought in?
Asked by Wiki User
The general term for the wars with the Indians in the West is referred to as the Plains Indians Wars. The US Army did recognize this as a war by issuing the Indiand War Campaign Medal, but I'm not sure what period of serviceit included. In 1876, the last serious Sioux warerupted, when the Dakota gold rush penetrated the Black Hills. This lead to the battle of Little Big Horn.
