Sioux Indians

If you go to the ADGA website it will tell you how many are registered. There is no way possible to tell how many more there are.

The Makah Indians traditionally lived a maritime-based lifestyle, relying on fishing, hunting marine mammals, and gathering plants for subsistence. They were skilled canoe builders and navigators, and their culture was deeply intertwined with the sea. Today, the Makah Tribe continues to maintain their connection to their traditional practices while also adapting to modern ways of life.

Hunting: Bows and arrows, spears, knives, hide scrapers, drums Transportation: Birchbark canoes, bull boats, toboggans,

In Lakota the word for peace is wolakhota; an older term is wookhiye.

The plains Sioux Indians lived in tipis made out of buffalo hides and wooden poles. They are 15 - 20 feet in diameter. The tipis have flaps on the top that could be opened and closed to account for fires inside the tipi and for bad weather. They also contained hooks on the insides to hang weapons, tools and supplies. They relied on tipis for their housing since they're existence was centered around buffalo. They were a migratory tribe based on the presence of buffalo, and tipis were quick and easy to take down and put up. But, the Sioux on the east coast lived in places other than Tipis.

The plains Native Americans did not build their homes out of earth, but did use hides to make teepee's. They were a nomadic people who followed the herds and moved to warmer areas in the winter months.

Well to answer this question all you have to do is ask yourself how does plants help people today, it is the same. Now how the Sioux and other tribes knew which plants to get would be by watching animals, animals knew which plants to eat and which plants not to eat. Animals even know which plants to eat in order to get better if they are sick.

The Sioux were a particarcal society, meaning that the men were mostly in charge of running how the society lived. In particarcal societies, the job of hunting went to men, while the women tended to the settlements.

Yes, the Sioux tribe did have horses. They, like the Nez Perce had Appaloosas and Paints.

Nope the Sioux did not farm Because the women got fruit for the people of the Sioux nation.

The Oglala Sioux tribe lived in the Great Plains of North America. They hunted the buffalo, which was a source of food, shelter, and clothing for these people. The people were migratory. A famous Oglala Sioux was Black Elk. Today, people from this tribe live on Pine Ridge Reservation in the Black Hills.

The Caddo tribe were speakers of a southern branch of the Caddoan language family; speakers of languages belonging to the northern branch were the Pawnees, Arikaras, Kitsai and Wichita.

A few words in the Caddo or Hasinai language, which today is close to extinction, are:

e'nah....................mother

ea'titi....................older sister

neesh...................moon

kai'acooh..............drum

keehseeh..............maize (Indian corn)

chawee.................bow

deetsi...................dog

do'ooh..................rabbit

ta'sha...................wolf

George Armstrong Custer was armed with two British Bulldog pistols for his personal sidearms and also carried a Remington long range hunting rifle across his saddle pommel. After the fighting ended at last stand hill the Indians stripped and mulitated the dead, taking EVERYTHING. Few documented U.S. cavalry weapons from Custer's five companys survive today. Nothing of Custer's.

In Lakota the word for mountain is he or heakantu.

This varies among the many Sioux nation tribes.

Common things would include a medicine wheel pendant, Sea shells among the east coast tribe, beads of many sorts, feathers (the eagle feather is the main feather which represents the great spirit, however the USA govt has outlawed any Sioux from owning an eagle feather unless they are part of a federally recognized tribe. The fine for a Sioux owning an eagle feather today can reach $25,000).

Clothing included moccasin shoes, leather, and animal skin of various sorts.

Yes in store bought, but before supermarkets came they eat deer, elk, and buffalo. I don't think they ate bear from what I know. Bears were our ancestors that we don't eat them, they were some sort of evil or set to be something bad. Dog was another source only because meat became scarce in those days. When settlers drove our herd away.

Among most native American groups, name-giving was a complex and important part of an individual's identity that was very different to modern English or American naming.

A young child might first be given an "everyday" name by a male relative such as an uncle or grandfather, or by a medicine man. This name might be one previously carried by a long-ago famous warrior, as a way of respecting and remembering the name. The family might also give the child a pet name known only to close family and friends.

As the child grew up, another name might replace the original "everyday name" - sometimes a boy would be given his own father's name (as in the case of Crazy Horse), when the father would take on an alternate name.

Sometimes, if a warrior was involved in some specially famous war or religious exploit, he might take on another name to commemorate that deed. Sacred visions would often include instructions about particular ways for warriors to apply their war paint and this might lead to a change of name - an example being "Rain-in the-Face", referring to his face paint.

Some names were simply a reference to some obvious physical characteristic, such as "Touch the Clouds" (who was extremely tall).

Even women might have an everyday name that was taken from a long-ago warrior, so it was not unusual for Lakota women to be called names like "Takes the Shield", "Kills Plenty" or "Takes the Picketed Horse", even when they had done nothing like that themselves.

Yes. General Terry offered him a battery of six Gatling Guns. Custer refused them on the grounds that they would slow him, and they would have. They were heavy and mounted on an artillery carriage. Thirty years later, gas-operated machine guns were available which could be packed on the back of a cavalry horse, and these were used in the Russo-Japanese War. The Gatling Guns could have prevented Custer's Last Stand because the hostiles knew better than to attack them, but of course Custer did not foresee such an outcome when he turned down command of these weapons.

Custer was a colonel, although during the Civil War he attained the rank of a brevet general. Brevet means a temporary promotion to general. Although Custer kept his brevet rank for a time after the war, it was later taken away from him, and he was a colonel when he died. [If Custer had been a general at Little Big Horn he would have commanded more than one regiment.]

Suck a Chubby and his crew came up with the terms, they terms were that all native Americans were able to live on there own land in the black hills South Dakota. Suck a Chubby and Sacajawea fought over it.

cant remember

cant remember is actually not a good answer. They didnt actually make much inventions in their tribe life-except for the games they played and songs. But that is really not inventions.
