Sioux

[martin goddard]

Apparently when asked "who are those Indians" (lakota/sioux). The crow scouts chuckled and replied to the officer that they are "Sioux".  In Crow, Sioux means "snake in the grass".  I shall continue to use the term Sioux, because it is widely understood , but we should use "Lakota".

Lakota were the western most but there were also Dakota and Nakota.  And I thought Sioux meant 'enemy'.
