Sioux Indians

There was no one leader, as the Algonquin people were made of many different tribes. Each tribe had their own leader, and this role was passed down to other male family members; in present time, it is voted on democratically.

The paramount leader or chief of an Algonquian Indian tribe is called a sagamore or sachem.

Two leaders of the Algonquian nations were.Tecumseh and Pontiac.

They brought many diseases such as smallpox, measles and influenza. With so many leaders and older wise people dying, the Indian nations must have lost all their sense of direction. With so many priests disappearing among these very religious cultures, people must have anguished about how to properly continue honoring the spirits of their ancestors, and how to restore their own relationships with their gods. Yes, to be causing such misery -- to even take away the powers of all the old medicines -- the gods must be very angry. What had the Indians done to deserve such punishment?

The Sioux (Lakota, Nakota and Dakota) have a complicated naming system with six classes of names: birth order, honor, special deed, nicknames, sacred, and spirit names. The first name was given based on the gender and birth position of the child. The sacred and spirit names were only known to the individual and the Medicine Man.

A person could have several names during his/her lifetime, adapted to the individual at the time they were given to them.

Female names:

Chapa = beaver

Ehawee = laughing maid

Kimimela = butterfly

Ojinjintka = rose

Tahcawin = doe

Winona = first born daughter

Wichahpi = star

Male Names:

Chatan = hawk

Chayton = falcon

Enapay = appears bravely

Hanska = tall

Kangee = crow

Mato = bear

Wasechun Tashunka = American Horse

The Sioux were finally defeated at Wounded Knee when soldiers opened fire, killing 300 of 350 men, women, and children. This was known as the Ghost Dance War.

The 1960's were probably just like the 1960's maybe just a little different. Yes, the woman were poor but their husband's were usually rich so what was the difference. Check the roles of woman in the 1950's because the 1950's and the 1960's are very much alike.

All 5,000 of them, although the US Government refuses to recognize the existence of more than 512 of them because the other 4,488 refuse to submit (surrender) to the United States and become a political subdivision of that nation.

Before the arrival of horses in the Americas, the tribes of the Sioux had no word for that animal. When they first saw horses they invented a new word that literally means "mystery dog": shunkawakan.

hingna

Impossible to say. There are controversial theories. But he probably was among the last men to die on the hill. Indians saw a man standing and shouting orders with a leather jacket up there almost till the end. Someone identify Custer.

Over open fires. They make cooking pots from buffalo skins and put hot rocks and water into the skins to boil vegetables and meat. They roasted meats over an open fire. They dried meats and ate them like jerky.

Kinship terms in all Algonquian languages are extremely complex and many have different terms for use by a male or a female speaker. The Mi'kmaq term for "my grandmother" is nkijinen

In the late 16th and early 17th century they lived in the upper Mississippi area. In the mid to late 17th century they were pushed by the Cree and Anishnaabe onto the Great Plains. In the 1730s they got the horse from the Cheyenne.

Before the 16th century in the 9th-12th centuries they were in the Ohio river valley area. The language is thought to have started in the lower Mississippi area.

The Sioux Native American group had a wide variety of tools that they used. Some of these included bows, arrows, axes, spears, nets, hooks, mortars and pestles.

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.

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.

Chinooks did not have money like we understand money today. Chinooks traded items to get what they wanted or needed.

Dentalia shells were prized and very valuable. In the early 1900s a large carved shell could by several bags of groceries.

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.

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.

In Lakota the terms for warrior are zuya wichasha ("going to war man"), ikichize wichasha ("weapon man") or akichita (warrior selected as camp police).

The Dakota lived where the buffalo lived. They depended on the buffalo for food, clothing, and shelter. This could have been anywhere from Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, northern Illinois, and even Canada.
