How do you say wind in the Lakota Sioux language?

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.

Why is the Battle of the Little Bighorn also called Custer's Last Stand?

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?

Please refer to the Iroqois Indians religion question.

That was their way of life; to respect the animals and not abuse them.
