From a Dakota (Souix) Indian word meaning "sky-tinted water", or "water that reflects the sky." For instance, when the sky is blue, the water is blue, and when the sky is cloudy gray, the water is cloudy gray. Calm areas of the slow-moving river often made for a very reflective surface that, like a still lake, displayed the appearance and colors of the sky above.
