What Indian tribe lived in South Dakota?
That depends on the time period.
In the early 1740s the Kiowas lived in the area of the Black Hills and were close allies and friends with the Crows - they picked up the thank-you word "aho" from the Crows and kept it in their own language. We do not know how long the Kiowas had been in that location prior to this time.
A short time later the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes moved into the same area near the Black Hills (perhaps about 1760) - they were forced to move by Sioux tribes armed with guns, who gradually became the dominant force in the Black Hills (certainly by the early 1800s).
So the Teton Sioux (Lakotas) claimed the Black Hills as their own "traditional" hunting and burial grounds, when in fact they had simply taken it over by force - just as later the white Americans did.

The Sioux originated around the area of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, but with the advent of the horse their population exploded and they expanded west through Minnesota and into the Dakotas and the plains. The Sioux were an aggressively expansionist tribe who supplanted and warred with nearly every other tribe they encountered as they displaced other tribes ever further westward or southward. This expansion was made possible by the horse. Prior to the horse, Native Americans could not easily survive as nomads on the open plains. Along the way they split off into a bunch of sub-tribes such as the Assiniboin ... but today are largely identifiable as grouped into three distinct dialects, the Nakota, the Lakota and the Dakota. Same people, but three different accents.
