Sioux

The Sioux or Oceti Sakowin (/suː/; Dakota: Očhéthi Šakówiŋ /otʃʰeːtʰi ʃakoːwĩ/) are groups of Native American tribes and First Nations peoples in North America. The modern Sioux consist of two major divisions based on language divisions: the Dakota and Lakota; collectively they are known as the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (\"Seven Council Fires\"). The term \"Sioux\" is an exonym created from a French transcription (\"Nadouessioux\") of the Ojibwe term \"Nadowessi\", and can refer to any ethnic group within the Great Sioux Nation or to any of the nation's many language dialects.

The name \"Sioux\" was adopted in English by the 1760s from French. It is abbreviated from the French Nadouessioux, first attested by Jean Nicolet in 1640.[3] The name is sometimes said to be derived from \"Nadowessi\" (plural \"Nadowessiwag\"),[5] an Ojibwe exonym for the Sioux meaning \"little snakes\" (compare nadowe \"big snakes\", used for the Iroquois).[6] The French pluralized the Ojibwe singular \"Nadowessi\" by adding the French plural suffix \"oux\" to form \"Nadowessioux,\" which was later shortened to \"Sioux.\"[5]The Proto-Algonquian form *natowewa, meaning \"Northern Iroquoian\", has reflexes in several daughter languages that refer to a small rattlesnake (massasauga, Sistrurus).[7] An alternative explanation is derivation from an (Algonquian) exonym natowessiw (plural natowessiwak), from a verb *-atowe meaning \"to speak a foreign language\".[8] The current Ojibwe term for the Sioux and related groups is Bwaanag (singular Bwaan), meaning \"roasters\".[9][10] Presumably, this refers to the style of cooking the Sioux used in the past. 59ce067264
