Sioux Indian
Genealogy
Siouan Family. The most populous linguistic
family North of Mexico, next to the Algonquian. The name is taken from a
'term applied to the largest and best known tribal group or confederacy
belonging to the family, the Sioux or Dakota, which, in turn, is an
abbreviation of Nadowessioux, a French corruption of Nadowe-is-iw,
the appellation given them by the Chippewa. It signifies 'snake,' 'adder,'
and, by metaphor, 'enemy.' See Dakota.
Before changes of domicile took place among them, resulting from
contact with whites, the principal body extended from the west bank of the
Mississippi northward from the Arkansas nearly to the Rocky Mountains,
except for certain sections held by the
Pawnee,
Arikara,
Cheyenne,
Arapaho, Blackfeet,
Comanche, and
Kiowa. The Dakota proper also occupied territory on the east side of
the river, from the mouth of the Wisconsin to Mille Lacs, and the
Winnebago were about the lake of that name and the head of Green bay.
Northward Siouan tribes extended some distance into Canada, in the
direction of Lake Winnipeg. A second group of Siouan tribes, embracing the
Catawba, Sara or
Cheraw,
Saponi,
Tutelo, and several others, occupied the central part of North
Carolina and South Carolina and the piedmont region of Virginia (see
Mooney, Siouan Tribes of the East, Bull. B. A. E., 1894), while the
Biloxi dwelt in Mississippi along the Gulf coast, and the Ofo on Yazoo
river in the same state.
