	The Sioux tribe and the Dakota conflict
		The Sioux tribes are divided by three geographic regions.
		The Lakota Sioux tribe is divided into seven bands: The Oglala, Brule, Minniconjou, Sans Arcs, Oohenopa, Sihasapa, and the Hunkpapa.
		One reason for the uprising of the Sioux tribe was that the Dakotas were not being paid the money promised to them for their land.

	Sioux Religion
		The Sioux regard the universe as ultimately incomprehensible; life, growth, and death are mysterious and suggestive of powers difficult to understand.
		Of the seven sub-divisions of the Teton Sioux, the Oglala and Sicangu (Brule) were the first to arrive on the Plains, whilst horses, which transformed Plains life, were obtained by the Oglala about 1750, possibly from the Arikara people (Powers:1982 pp.5, 16-17, 26, 28).
		From it the Sioux derived most of life's necessities; for example, from its hide they made clothing and tepees, ropes and snowshoes; the horns provided spoons, weapons, and ceremonial articles, whilst the sinew was used for bow strings, arrow points, and sewing materials (Salomon:1928 p.31).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sioux Indians
		A year before rumours had come to the Sioux of a new Indian Messiah arisen beyond the mountains to restore the old-time Indian life, together with their departed friends, in a new earth from which the whites should be excluded.
		The Sioux were not a compact nation with centralized government and supreme head chief, but were a confederacy of seven allied sub-tribes speaking a common language, each with a recognized head chief and each subdivided into bands or villages governed by subordinate chiefs.
		The Sioux language is euphonious, sonorous, and flexible, and possesses a more abundant native literature than that of any other tribe within the United States, with the possible exception of the Cherokee.
