	Sioux Uprising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sioux Uprising, also known as the Dakota Conflict or the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862, was an armed conflict between the United States and several eastern bands of the Dakota people (often referred to as the Santee Sioux) that began on August 17, 1862 along the Minnesota River in southwest Minnesota.
		On August 4, representatives of the northern Sisseton and Wahpeton bands met at the Upper Sioux Agency in the northwestern part of the reservation.
		The small Lower Sioux Indian Reservation was reestablished at the site of the Lower Sioux Agency near Morton, and in the 1930s an even smaller Upper Sioux Reservation (little more than a square mile in size) was established near Granite Falls.

	Sioux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name Sioux is an abbreviated form of Nadouessioux borrowed into French Canadian from Nadoüessioüak from the early Ottawa exonym: na·towe·ssiwak "Sioux".
		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.
		The sioux are divided into tribes, the larger of which are divided into sub-tribes, and further branched into bands.

		In the Treaty (Agreement) of 1868, the Sioux agreed to relinquish to the United States all their territory south of the Niobrara River, west of longitude 104 degrees and north of latitude 46 degrees, and promised they would retire to a large reservation in southwest South Dakota before January 1, 1876.
		The late eighteen hundreds became a period of bitter readjustment and decline, and the final uprising of the Sioux during the Ghost Dance excitement of 1890-1891 was subdued by Colonel Forsyth and the Seventh Cavalry at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on December 29, 1890.
		Socially, the Sioux originally consisted of a large number of local groups or bands, and although there was a certain tendency to encourage marriage outside the bands, these divisions were not true gentes, remembered blood relationship being the only bar to marriage.
