The Lakota and The Sioux Indigenous People: Tale of Two Tribes

Native American history is full of cultural customs, philosophy, and basic ideology. This history is also characterized by injustice, tragedy, and suffering. Without mentioning poverty it is impossible to discuss the Native American tribes and the existing land they own and their reservation. Many Native American tribes like Oglala Lakota Nation are in confrontation between poverty and the economy. Aboriginal UN permanent forum recognizes the plight of indigenous people suffering from deprivation of the same rights as the people of Lakota.

Sue is the abbreviation for "Naudouessioux" or "small snake". Sue Nation consists of three major tribes: Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota. Dakota and Nakota are forest tribes, but Lakota is an ordinary tribe. All Sioux Indians live in the present state of North Dakota and South Dakota. They are people sitting on cows, enemies of outsiders, people, and friends. Their word is called Suean. They will communicate with other tribes in sign language. Sue is wearing very high hair traditionally long and knitted. These women wore all their clothes. Men are wearing tights, waist clothes (hip cloth), moccasins. Unless necessary, it is customary not to wear a shirt. Women wear a back skin skirt and wear lower knees, elbow sleeves (armpit opening), ankle to knee leggings, and moccasins. Almost everything is decorated with tassels, feather pens and beads

The birth of Crazy Horse is a wonderful time for Lakota people. As a Sue's branch, Lakota represents the biggest band in the tribe. Their fields are from the Missouri River to the big land of the Big Horn Mountains in the West. They have little contact with white people and by the 1940's Lakota was at the top of their power. However, in the 1950s, life in Lakota began to change dramatically. The competition between these new immigrants and the resources of Lakota is causing tension as white settlers try to send money to the west for gold. A military fortress was set up in part of the Great Plains to introduce more white settlers and brought illness that harm India's population.

Sue's lady is the responsibility of the family. In addition to cooking and cleaning, a woman from Dakota or Lakota built her house and carried a heavy post with tribes in motion. That house belongs to a Sioux woman. Men are hunters and warriors who feed and protect their families. Normally, only men will be the chief of Sioux, but both men and women are involved in storytelling, art and music, and traditional medicine. The people of Dakota and Lakota live in a big buffalo tent called a tent (or tea). Tipis is carefully designed to setup and disassemble quickly. You can pack the entire Sioux village and prepare to move within 1 hour. The height of the original chip was only 12 feet, but after Sue got the horse they started assembling them twice as large. This is a picture of cutting-edge Indian houses. Today, Native American simply set up a tent to entertain or connect their legacy.
