Sioux



The Sioux were Native Americans who called the Great Sioux Nation Oceti Sakowin, which meant"Seven Council Fires." These concils would join eachother each summer to have a meeting about renewing kinships, tribal matters, and participating in the Sun Dance. Out of the seven division leaders four would be chosen as the highest ranked. These divisions included Mdewakanton, Wahpetowan, Wahpekute, Sissetowan, Ihantowan, Ihanktowana, and Tenton.
