Is it true that the tribe characterized as Platte Sioux are the same as the Sicangu?

I have just come from the Oglala message board, where I was told that Mitch Bouyer was 1/2 Santee. He is said to have lived with his mother's people when he was a child. That brings me to my question. In 1865 (about June) he was with a group of about 4 or 5 Whites when he was attacked by a group of Sioux (article said Platte Sioux), but he seemed to know one or more in the tribe as it (The article) said they played together as children. That did little to save him as he was wounded but made it back, while one White was killed. All the rest of the group was either wounded or not but all got away. Is there anyone who can identify this group of Indians, or is there anyone alive who descends from Mitch Bouyer. I believe he had a son and a couple of daughters. This article came from a contemporary edition of the Montana Post.
Thanks

Was Mitch Boyer 1/2 Oglala. That is was his mother Oglala? The reason I ask is that he was attacked by a tribe in 1865 and was wounded. I think one man died. Mitch got back safely but before the fight started, he talked with someone among the attackers that he played with as a boy. They joked, but it did not save him from the attack. I want to know if they (the attackers) were Oglala.
