		This broad application of the term "Sioux" is useful to these two disciplines, with their line charts that show the convergence of ancestry as well as the divergence of succession.

	Sioux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The western Santee obtained horses, probably in the 17th century (although some historians date the arrival of horses in South Dakota to 1720), and moved further west, onto the Great Plains, becoming the Titonwan tribe, subsisting on the buffalo herds and corn-trade with their linguistic cousins, the Mandan and Hidatsa along the Missouri.
		As a result, on August 17, 1862 the Sioux Uprising began when a few Santee men murdered a white farmer and most of his family, igniting further attacks on white settlements along the Minnesota River.
		The sioux are divided into tribes, the larger of which are divided into sub-tribes, and further branched into bands.
