Dear Members,
Todays subject is about the Dakota Sioux Tribe.
The question raised to me was someone wanted to start learning a bit of some of the tribes across America and there brief background located below is just that. Next week I'll find another. Hope all are enjoy these.
the Louisiana Purchase lead to an end to some aspects of traditional native Sioux life due to the depletion of the buffalo. The Ghost Dance, a ceremony intended to call back the buffalo and send away the Whites, gained prevalence as the Sioux attempted to regain their pre-contact lives.
Language: There are three native Sioux dialects, Dakota, Nakota and Lakota.
Daily Life:Today the Sioux have adapted to reservation and/or urban life. Many are involved in South Dakota's tourism industry.
Best Known Features: Black Hills Gold has become a well known feature of the area where the Sioux once freely roamed. Although not directly associated with the Sioux, many Sioux artisans have set up shops in South Dakota selling jewelry and other cultural products
Thanks,
Miracle Monkey
Chief Native American Pride
