- "The Lakota (pronounced [laˈkˣota], Lakota language: Lakȟóta) are a Native American tribe. Also known as the Teton Sioux (from Thítȟuŋwaŋ), they are one of the three tribes of the Great Sioux Nation. Their current lands are in North and South Dakota. They speak Lakȟótiyapi—the Lakota language, the westernmost of three closely related languages that belong to the Siouan language family.
The seven bands or "sub-tribes" of the Lakota are:
Sičháŋǧu (Brulé, Burned Thighs)Oglála ("They Scatter Their Own")Itázipčho (Sans Arc, Without Bows)Húŋkpapȟa (Hunkpapa, "End Village", Camps at the End of the Camp Circle)Mnikȟówožu (Miniconjou, "Plant Near Water", Planters by the Water)Sihásapa ("Blackfeet, or Blackfoot")Oóhenuŋpa (Two Kettles)Notable Lakota persons include Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake (Sitting Bull) from the Húnkpapȟa band; Touch the Clouds from the Miniconjou band, Heȟáka Sápa (Black Elk) from the Oglála band, Maȟpíya Lúta (Red Cloud), Billy Mills, and the celebrated Tȟašúŋke Witkó (Crazy Horse) from the Oglala and Miniconjou bands.
