THE DAKOTA-LAKOTA-NAKOTA PEOPLE
There are FOUR branches of Sioux Indians, with each being comprised of different bands:

2) Sicangu (Brule)
3) Hunkpapa

(bands)

2) Hunkpatina-Lower Yanktonais
3) Pabaska-Cut Head

The Sioux, are members of the Dakota and Lakota nations. "Dakota" and "Lakota" mean "friends" or "allies." The people of these nations are often called "Sioux", a term that dates back to the seventeenth century when the people were living in the Great Lakes area. The Ojibwa called the Lakota and Dakota "Nadouwesou" meaning "adders." This term, shortened and corrupted by French traders, resulted in retention of the last syllable as "Sioux." There are various Sioux divisions and each has important cultural, linguistic, territorial and political distinctions.
