List of Sioux tribes

The list of Sioux tribes includes the tribes grouped under the name Sioux .

Sioux tribes

The Sioux were divided into three dialect or tribal groups, the Dakota, Nakota / Nakoda and Lakota ('allies', 'friends') (from east to west), which in turn were divided into several tribes. The most important social and economic unit was the large family or Tiyospaye (ti - 'dwelling', ospaye - 'a small part of the whole', English extended family ), which consisted of four to seven smaller family settlements or Tiwahe (English family camps , family clusters ). Usually the individual tiwahe wentindependently across the plains to hunt or collect wild plants, berries and roots. The Tiwahe came together again for religious ceremonies, dances, military campaigns or to undertake a big bison hunt , and cooperated as Tiyospaye . Several Tiyospaye (mostly four to seven) formed a group or Ospaye (English band ), who gathered with the other Ospaye as a tribe during the Sun Dance and performed the ceremonies together as a unit.

The Oceti Sakowin

Originally, seven Sioux tribes formed an alliance which they called Oceti Sakowin or Očhéthi Šakówiŋ ('The Fire of the Seven Tribes', 'The Seven Council Fires'). The Oceti Sakowin included:

Mdewakanton (Bdewákaŋthuŋwaŋ)
Wahpekute (Waȟpékhute)
Sisseton (Sisíthuŋwaŋ)
Wahpeton (Waȟpéthuŋwaŋ)
Yankton (Iháŋkthuŋwaŋ)
Yanktonai (Iháŋkthuŋwaŋna)
Teton (Thítȟuŋwaŋ) or Lakota

The Mdewakanton were the leading tribe of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ until the uprising of the Eastern Dakota in Minnesota in 1862 , but as a result of the defeat, in which they suffered great losses in men and combat strength, their position within the Alliance was transferred to the largest group of the Tetons, Oglala, resign.

Today's tribes and First Nations of the Sioux

The tribes and groups commonly referred to as Sioux now live on many reservations in the United States and Canada. Here, however, only the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota (excluding Stoney and Assiniboine) belonging to the Oceti Sakowin or Očhéthi Šakówiŋ ('The Fire of the Seven Tribes', 'The Seven Ratsfeuer') will be considered, the situation of the Stoney and Assiniboine will only be brief reproduced.

Most of the approximately 9,000 tribe members of the Stoney today (as of October 2012) live in five larger and several smaller reservations in southwest Alberta : the approximately 5,200 descendants of the Mountain Stoney today belong to the Stoney Nakoda First Nation (consisting of the Bearspaw -, Chiniki- and Wesley First Nations), the majority of which live on the Stoney Nakoda Nation Reservation with Morley as the administrative center. The approx. 3,800 descendants of the Wood Stoney make up today's Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation and Paul First Nation and live on several reservations west of Edmonton .

Today the Assiniboine live in two reservations in the USA and in different reservations in Canada, whereby there are currently only two Assiniboine First Nations in Saskatchewan, the other three Assiniboine groups within the province together with other groups (mostly Cree and Salteaux) form First Nations -Nations sharing the reserves; There are no Assiniboine reserves in Manitoba. In Alberta living Aseniwuche Winewak nation is not currently recognized by the Canadian government as a First Nation.
