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?
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.

When did the battle of little big horn end?
The Battle of the Little Big Horn ended on July 26, 1876. The battle lasted for only one day and took place between the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes and the US Army.
The place where Indians defeated over 250 US soldiers led by George Custer was?
The valley of the Little Bighorn River, in Montana.
Battle of Little Big horn weapons?
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?
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.

Occasionally different Chinook groups would fight wars against each other, or against other Northwest Coastal tribes.
What state was the battle of the little bighorn fought in?
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.
The Sioux nation was originally called the Dakota. Eventually the Dakota broke off into 3 groups known as Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota.
The East coast Sioux tribes came from the Nakota tribe. The East coast Sioux tribes had two main Nations known as the Saponi and the Catawba.
The name Sioux refers to all tribes which spoke of the Siouan language (the variations of this language varies from tribe to tribe).
One of the most famous Sioux groups was known as the Lakota.
The Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Saponi, and Catawba all was made up of many other tribes. It is known that some of the Creek Indians even spoke a form of the Siouan language.
What time period did the Sioux indans live in?
The actual Cheyenne tribe split from other Algonquin speaking nations located in the Great Lakes region around 1500 AD and began migrating west. They settled eventually in the Dakotas, and became a unified tribe in the early 19th century.
Wahanpi is a specific type of soup made by the Teton Lakota, consisting of buffalo meat, wild turnips and blo(native wild potato). It is now used generally for any soup, broth or stew. You say wah-hon-pee (the hon part is nasal, so said through your nose).
What type of crafts did the crow Indian tribe once make?
The Mohawk were known for their excellence in mask carving. This was considered a sacred endeavor. They also excelled in their intricate beadwork ,particularly in wampum belts which usually told the story of a person's family. The more time consuming and difficult was the quill work done. The quills had to be harvested and flattened and then woven.
Did the Sioux Indian tribe have any special traditions?
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana and Wyoming.
What is the Sioux word for friend?
A buffalo cow = p'te
A young male buffalo = p'ta
A buffalo bull = tatanka
An old buffalo = tagu'
The word tatanka literally means "big hump" and it could be applied to any animal with its head carried lower than its spine, such as the moose and the bear.
Who led the Indians at the battle of little big horn?
Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer was the on-the-ground leader of the American horse-soldiers at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June of 1876. Typically overlooked in this battle is the fact that Custer was officially subordinate to Brigadier General Alfred Terry, who commanded one of three columns closing in on the Native encampment from different directions. On the fateful day of the battle, Custer's decision to act on his own, rather than awaiting Terry's arrival, led to the Native victory over Custer's command.

Red Cloud
Crazy Horse
Sitting Bull
Buffalo Hump
Black Elk
