Native American Facts For Kids was written for young people learning about the Shawnees for school or home-schooling reports. We encourage students and teachers to look through our mainShawnee language andculture pages for in-depth information, but here are our answers to the questions we are most often asked by children, with Shawnee pictures and links we believe are suitable for all ages.

Shawnee Tribe

Shawnee is pronounced "shaw-NEE." It comes from the Shawnee wordshawanwa, which means "southerner." In history books, you can sometimes see the same name spelled Shawano or Sewanee.

The original Shawnee home land was in Ohio,Kentucky, andIndiana. But the Shawnees were far-ranging people. Shawnee villages were located as far north as New York state and as far south as Georgia. Here is amap showing Shawnee and other Indian migrations. Today, most Shawnees live in Oklahoma, where they were deported by the US government.

There are three Shawnee bands in Oklahoma. Like most Native American tribes, the Shawnee Indian tribes areautonomous. That means each tribe has its own government, laws, police, and services, just like a small country. However, the Shawnee are also US citizens and must obey American law.

In the past, each Shawnee village or band was governed by its own chief and tribal council. The Shawnees also had war chiefs, who were chosen by other warriors based on their bravery and military skill. But all of them owed allegiance to one mainprincipal chief. The principal chief was a member of the ruling clan who the other Shawnee leaders chose to be in charge of the entire tribe. The Shawnee principal chief was a powerful figure, but he needed the support of his people to stay in power-- otherwise he could be replaced. Today each Shawnee tribe is governed by a tribal committee that is elected by all the tribal members.

Technically, no. The lands belonging to the Shawnee and other Oklahoma Indian tribes aretrust lands, not reservations. There are some legal differences between these two kinds of lands, but they are not very important. Many Oklahoma Indians call their homelands a reservation anyway.

Shawnee Indians all s peak English today. Some elders also speak their native Shawnee language, which is songlike and has complicated verbs with many parts. If you'd like to know a few easy Shawnee words, "bezon" (pronounced bay-zone) is a friendly greeting and "neahw" (pronounced nay-aw) means "thank you." You can listen to Shawnee being spokenhere and read a Shawnee picture glossaryhere.

Today Shawnee is anendangered language because most children aren't learning it anymore. However, some Shawnee people are working to keep their language alive.

Here are the home pages of the Absentee Shawnee andEastern Shawnee tribes, where you can learn about the Shawnee people past and present.

They do the same things any children do--play with each other, go to school and help around the house. In the past, Shawnee kids had more chores and less time to play, just like early colonial children. But Shawnee children did havedolls, toys and games, like miniature bows and arrows and hand-held ball games. Like many Native Americans, Shawnee mothers traditionally carried their babies incradleboards on their backs--a custom which many American parents haveadopted now.

What were men and women's roles in the Shawnee tribe?

Shawnee men were hunters and sometimes went to war to protect their families. Shawnee women were farmers and also did child care and cooking. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine. In the past, Shawnee principal chiefs were always men, but either a man or a woman could be a village chief.

The Shawnees didn't live in tepees. They lived in small round dwellings calledwikkums, or wigwams. Here are some images ofAmerican Indian wigwams like the ones Shawnee Indians used. Each Shawnee village also included a larger council house built from wood. Today, Native Americans only build a wigwam for fun or to connect with their heritage, not for shelter. Most Shawnees live in modern houses and apartment buildings, just like you.

Shawnee women wore skirts with leggings. Shawnee men worebreechclouts and leggings. Shirts were not necessary in the Shawnee culture, but both men and women often wore ponchos in cool weather. The Shawnees woremoccasins on their feet. As they migrated from place to place, the Shawnees adopted clothing styles from many other Indian tribes and from white settlers as well. Here is apicture of Shawnee Indian clothing, and photos and links aboutAmerican Indian dress in general.

The Shawnees didn't wearheaddresses like theSioux. Sometimes they wore a beaded headband with a feather or two in it. Shawnee people usually wore their hair long, though Shawnee warriors sometimes shaved their heads in theMohawk style. Many Shawnees painted designs onto their faces, and some woreWhat was Shawnee food like in the days before supermarkets?
The Shawnees were farming people. Shawnee women planted and harvested corn and squash. Shawnee men hunted in the forest for deer, turkeys, and small game and went fishing in the rivers and lakes. Shawnee Indian food included soup, cornbread, and stews. Here is a website with more information abouttribal tattoos.

Today, some Shawnee people still have a traditional headband or moccasins, but they wear modern clothes like jeans instead of breechcloths... and they only wear feathers in their hair on special occasions like a dance.

Yes, the Shawnees madedugout canoes by hollowing out large trees. Here is a website with pictures of differentIndian canoes. Over land, the Shawnee tribe used dogs as pack animals. (There were no horses in North America until colonists brought them over from Europe.) Today, of course, Shawnee people also use cars... and non-native people also use canoes.

traditional Native American Indian food.

Shawnee hunters and warriors used bows and arrows, stone tomahawks, and spears. Shawnee fisherman used spears and nets. Here is a website of pictures and information aboutNative American weapons.

The Shawnee tribe is known for theirbeadwork,pottery, andwood carving. Like other eastern American Indians, the Shawnee also craftedwampum out of white and purple shell beads. Wampum beads were traded as a kind of currency, but they were more culturally important as an art material. Thedesigns and pictures on wampum belts often told a story or represented a person's family.

What other Native Americans did the Shawnee tribe interact with?
The Shawnee were a very far-ranging tribe, so they interacted with many different nations. Further to the north, the Shawnees were allies of theDelaware Indians and enemies of theIroquois tribes. Further to the south, the most important neighbors of the Shawnee tribe were theCherokee,Chickasaw, andCreek Indians. Sometimes the Shawnees traded with these tribes, and other times they fought them.Can you recommend a good book for me to read?

There are lots of traditional Shawnee legends and fairy tales. Storytelling is very important to the Shawnee Indian culture. Here is one well-known tale abouta Shawnee man who married a sky daughter.

Spirituality and religion were important parts of Shawnee life, and some people continue to practice traditional beliefs today. It is respectful to avoid imitating religious rituals for school projects since some Shawnee people care about them deeply. You can read and learn about them, however. You can visit this site to learn more aboutShawnee mythology or this site aboutIndian religion in general.

You could also read a biography of Tecumseh, likeTecumseh: Shawnee Leader (for younger kids) orTecumseh: A Life (for older kids).

Algonquin Indian family Algonquin dancer Karly Meness

Algonquin is pronounced Al-GON-kin. "Algonquin" is the most common spelling, but you'll often see "Algonkin" too. Either way is fine--but avoid spelling the word "Algonquian" or "Algonkian," because that refers to a whole group of Native American languages (includingCree,Blackfoot, andDelaware)! The Algonquins are only one of the manyAlgonquian-speaking tribes, and they have a unique identity and independent political status from the others.

"Algonquin" was the French name for the tribe. The French were probably trying to pronounceelehgumoqik, the Maliseet word for "our allies," orAlgoomaking, a Mi'kmaq place name. The Algonquins call themselvesAnishnabe, which means "original person." (The plural isAnishnabek.) However, Algonquins useAnishnabek to refer to other Indians also. So when they are specifically referring to their tribe, they usually use "Algonquins" or "Algonkins" to distinguish themselves.

The Algonquins are original natives of the southeastern region of Canada. Today they live in nine communities in Quebec and one in Ontario. Here is amap showing the location of the Algonquin and their relatives.

No. Other Algonquian tribes lived in New York, but never the Algonquin tribe. This is a mistake that happened because of the similar spellings of these words. Algonquian tribes located in New York included theMahican and Wappinger tribes, theMontauk and Shinnecock tribes, and theMunsee Delaware tribe. You can visit this map ofNew York Indian tribes to see where in New York each of those tribes lived.

Algonquin band flags

Each Algonquin community lives on its own reserve, also known as a reservation. Reserves are land that belongs to the tribe and is legally under their control. Each Algonquin tribe--known as aband or First Nation in Canada--is politically independent and has its own leadership. Algonquin First Nations have their own government, laws, police, and services, just like small countries. However, the Algonquins are also Canadian citizens and must obey Canadian law.

The leader of each Algonquin band is called ogima or ogema, which is translated as "chief" in English. The ogima used to be chosen by tribal councilmembers, often from the last chief's sons, nephews, or sons-in-law. Today chiefs are elected by the Algonquins, just like governors or mayors.

Some bands are English-speaking, and others are French-speaking. About half the Algonquin population also speak their nativeAlgonquin language. Algonquin is a musical language that has complicated verbs with many parts. If you'd like to learn a few easy Algonquin words, "kwey" (rhymes with "day") is a friendly greeting and "mìgwech" (pronunciation meeg-waitch) means "thank you." You can listen to an Algonquin woman talk in her languagehere and see an Algonquin picture glossaryhere.

Here's a link to theAlgonquin Nation Tribal Council homepage. There you can find information about three Algonquin communities in the past and today.

They do the same things all children do--play with each other, go to school and help around the house. Many Algonquin children like to go hunting and fishing with their fathers. In the past, Indian kids had more chores and less time to play, like early colonial children. But they did have toys, games and dolls, like this 18th-century doll in its miniature cradleboard. Algonquin mothers, like ma ny Native Americans, carried their babies in cradleboards like these. Older Algonquin kids enjoyed playing lacrosse like the adults. In some communities only men and teenage boys played lacrosse, but in others, girls and women played as well.

What were Algonquin men and women's roles?
Algonquin women gathered plants to eat and did most of the child care and cooking. Men were hunters and sometimes fought wars to protect their families. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine. In the past, the Algonquin Indian chief was always a man, but today a woman can be chief too.

What were Algonquin homes like in the past?

The Algonquins didn't live in tepees. For most of the year they lived in settled villages of birchbark houses, called waginogans or wigwams. Algonquin wigwams were usually dome-shaped and not very large-- only a single family unit lived in each one. In some Algonquin communities, multiple families from the same clan would live together in a much larger birchbark longhouse, like their Iroquois neighbors. During the winter, the village split up to go to hunting camps, and each Algonquin family would build a cone-shaped shelter like this for their camp. These shelters were temporary and were discarded whenever the family needed to move. At the end of winter, they would move back to the permanent summer lodges in their village. Here are some more pictures of American Indian houses like the ones the Algonquins used.

Today, Native Americans only build a birchbark lodge for fun or to connect with their heritage. Most Algonquin people live in modern houses and apartment buildings, just like you.

What was Algonquin clothing like? Did they wear feather headdresses and face paint?

What was Algonquin transportation like in the days before cars? Did they paddle canoes?

Chief Rocky Boy

Moccasin

Algonquin women wore long dresses with removable sleeves and the men wore breechcloths and leggings. Both genders wore moccasins on their feet and cloaks in bad weather. Later, the Algonquins adapted European costume such as cloth blouses and buckskin jackets, decorating the front with fancy beadwork. The Ojibway chief to the left is wearing the same style of clothing Algonquin men did. Here are more pictures of Ojibway and Algonquin clothing styles, and some photos and links about Native American clothing in general.

Some Algonquin warriors wore their hair in the Mohawk style, shaving the sides and using grease to stiffen the strip of hair in the middle so that it stood up high. Otherwise, Algonquin men and women both wore their hair in long braids. Some men wore a porcupine roach with a feather in it. (These roaches are made of porcupine hair, not the sharp quills!) In the 1800's, some Algonquin chiefs began wearing a feathered headdress like their neighbors the Sioux. The Algonquins painted their faces and arms with bright colors. They used different patterns for war paint and festive decoration. Some Algonquin men also wore elaborate tribal tattoos.

Today, some Algonquin people still wear moccasins or a buck skin jacket, but they wear modern clothes like jeans instead of breechcloths... and they only wear feathers in their hair on special occasions like a dance.

Algonquin canoe

Yes--the Algonquin Indian tribe was famous for their birchbark canoes. Here is a website with pictures of Native American canoes. Canoeing is still popular in the Algonquin nation today. Over land, the Algonquins used dogs as pack animals. (There were no horses in North America unt il colonists brought them over from Europe.) The Algonquins used sleds and snowshoes to help them travel in the winter.

Today, of course, Algonquin people also use cars... and non-native people also use canoes.

What are Algonquin arts and crafts like?

What was Algonquin food like in the days before supermarkets?
The Algonquins were hunting people. They hunted for deer, moose, and small game, and went fishing in the rivers and lakes. Some Algonquin communities grew corn and squash in small gardens, but most Algonquins only got foods like those in trade with neighboring tribes. Besides fish and meat, the Algonquins gathered berries and wild plants to eat. They also made maple syrup from tree sap, and cooked soups, stews and breads. Here is a recipe for Algonquin nut soup, and a website with more information about Native American food.

What were Algonquin weapons and tools like in the past?
Algonquin Indians used bows and arrows or spears for hunting. Algonquin hunters also built traps like the ones in this picture to catch deer and other game animals. Algonquin fishermen used pronged spears to stab fish from their canoes or through holes in the ice, instead of fishing with hooks. Algonquin warriors fought each other with war clubs, spears, or tomahawks. Here is a picture of an Anishinabe war club, and a website with pictures and more information about Native American weapons in general.

Do you have ideas for an Algonquin art project I can do for school?
We recommend making a

Algonquin artists are known for their beadwork and basketry arts. Like other eastern American Indians, Algonquins also craftedwampum out of white and purple shell beads. Wampum beads were traded as a kind of currency, but they were more culturally important as an art material. The symbols and designs on wampum belts often told a story or represented a person's family. Today, Algonquin people also create contemporary art like oil paintings. You can visit this site to see photographs of Algonquin paintings.

dreamcatcher. Dreamcatchers are a traditional Anishinaabe children's craft made as mobiles for babies. They are not religious and are appropriate for school projects. Traditionally dream catchers were made out of bent twigs and some sinew thread, but you could make one out of any round frame and string. Here are some goodonline instructions about how to make a dream catcher.

Native American Facts For Kids was written for young people learning about the Hopi Indian tribe for school or home-schooling reports. We encourage students and teachers to visit ourHopi language andculture pages for in-depth information about the tribe, but here are our answers to the questions we are most often asked by children, with Hopi pictures and links we believe are suitable for all ages.

Hopi artists are famous for their intricately carved

Hopi Tribe

Hopi is pronounced "hope-ee," and it means "peaceful person" or "civilized person" in the Hopi language.

The Hopi are natives of northwesternArizona, where they and their ancestors have been living for thousands of years.

The Hopis live on areservation, which is land that belongs to them and is under their control. The Hopi Nation has its own government, laws, police, and services, just like a small country. However, the Hopis are also US citizens and must obey American law.

In the past, the Hopi Indians had atheocratic government. That means that the head priest or kikmongwi of each village was also the town chief. Today, each Hopi village still has its own kikmongwi, but he is primarily a religious leader. The Hopi nation is now led by an elected tribal council.

Almost all Hopi people speak English today, but many of them also speak their nativeHopi language. Hopi is a complex language with long words. It isn't related to other Pueblo languages at all, but is actually a distant relative of theAztec language. If you'd like to know an easy Hopi word, "ha'u" (sounds a little like hah-uh) means "hello" in Hopi. You can also read a Hopi picture glossaryhere.

Here is the homepage of theHopi Nation. On their site you can find information about the Hopi people in the past and today.

They do the same things all children do--play with each other, go to school and help around the house. Many Hopi children like to go hunting and fishing with their fathers. In the past, Indian kids had more chores and less time to play in their daily lives, just like colonial children. But they did havedolls, toys, and games to play. A Hopi mother traditionally carried a young child in acradleboard on her back. Here is a website with Indian cradle board pictures.

Generally, Hopi women were in charge of the home and family. Hopi clans arematrilineal, which means Hopi people trace their family through their mothers. Hopi men were in charge of politics, agriculture and war. Hopi political leaders and warriors were traditionally always men. Both genders took part in storytelling, music and artwork, and traditional medicine.

Hopi people lived inadobe houses, which are multi-story house complexes made of adobe (clay and straw baked into hard bricks) and stone. Each adobe unit was home to one family, like a modern apartment. Hopi people used ladders to reach the upstairs apartments. A Hopi adobe house can contain dozens of units and was often home to an entire extended clan. Here are some pictures of traditionaladobe homes.

Unlike most old-fashioned Indian shelters, traditional Hopi houses are still used by some people today. Other Hopi families live in modern houses and apartment buildings, just like you.

Originally, Hopi men didn't wear much clothing-- onlybreechcloths or short kilts (men's skirts). Hopi women wore knee-length cotton dresses calledmantas. A manta fastened at a woman's right shoulder, leaving her left shoulder bare. Missionaries didn't think this dress style was modest enough, so in the 1900's many Hopi women started wearing blouses underneath their mantas. This style is still in use today. Men and women both woredeerskin moccasins on their feet. For dances and special occasions, women painted their moccasins white and wrapped white strips of deerskin around their shins as leggings. Here is a site with sketches ofNavajo and Hopi clothing styles, and some photos and links about American Indianregalia in general.

The Hopis did not traditionally wearNative American headdresses. Hopi men usually wore cloth headbands tied around their foreheads instead. Most men wore their hair gathered into a figure-eight shaped bun called ahömsoma, though some Hopi men began cutting their hair to shoulder-length during the early 1900's. Umarried Hopi women wore their hair in elaboratebutterfly whorls, while married women wore theirs in two long pigtails. As jewelry, Hopi women traditionally wore necklaces made of many strands of polished beads. After learning silverworking techniques from the Spanish in the 1800's, Hopi people also began to wear silver earrings, bracelets, and rings, and today Hopi artists are famous for their ornate silver overlay jewelry. The Hopis also painted their faces for special occasions. They used different patterns for war paint, religious ceremonies, and dances.

Today, many Hopi people still wear moccasins or mantas, but they wear modern clothes like jeans instead of a breechcloth... and they only wear legging wraps or kilts on special occasions like a dance.

No--the Hopi Indians weren't coastal people, and rarely traveled by river. Originally they just walked. There were no horses in North America until colonists brought them over from Europe, so the Hopis used dogs pullingtravois (a kind of drag sled) to help them carry heavy loads. Here is a website aboutNative American travois. Once Europeans brought horses to America, the Hopis could travel more quickly than before.

What was Hopi food like in the days before supermarkets?
The Hopis were expert farming people. They planted crops of corn, beans, and squash, as well as cotton and tobacco, and raised turkeys for their meat. Hopi men also hunted deer, antelope, and small game, while women gathered nuts, fruits, and herbs. Favorite Hopi meals to eat included hominy, baked beans, soups, and different types of cornbread. Here is a website with more information aboutSouthwest Native American food.

Hopi hunters used bows and arrows. The Hopis did not go to war often, though Hopi warriors did sometimes have to defend their territory against the Spanish and Navajos. When this happened, they normally fired their bows or fought with spears. Here is a website with pictures and information about theweapons of Native Americans. Hopi tools included wooden farm implements, spindles and looms for weaving cotton (and later wool), and pump drills for boring holes in turquoise and other beads.

What other Native Americans did the Hopi tribe interact with?

The Hopis traded regularly with other tribes of the Southwest, particularly the otherPueblo tribes. Pueblo trade routes reached into Mexico and to the California coast, supplying Hopi craftsmen with shells, coral, and turquoise for their jewelry. TheWhat kinds of stories do the Hopis tell?
There are lots of traditional Hopi legends and fairy tales. Storytelling is very important to the Hopi Indian culture. Here is a Hopi story aboutNavajos were frequent trading partners, but also frequent enemies, who sometimes raided Hopi villages.

What about Hopi religion?
Spirituality and religion were important parts of Hopi life, and many people continue to practice traditional beliefs today. It is respectful to avoid imitating religious rituals for school projects since some Hopi people care about them deeply. You can read and learn about them, however.

Native American Facts For Kids was written for young people learning about the Sioux Indian tribe for school or home-schooling reports. We encourage students and teachers to visit ourSioux Indian homepage for more in-depth information about the tribe, but here are our answers to the questions we are most often asked by children, with Sioux pictures and links we believe are suitable for all ages.

Sioux Tribe

There is no real difference. "Lakota" and "Dakota" are different pronunciations of the same tribal name, which means "the allies." One Sioux dialect has the letter "L" in it, and the other dialect does not. This is only a pronunciation difference, not a political one. Lakota and Dakota speakers all consider themselves part of the same overall culture.

"Sioux," on the other hand, is not a Lakota or Dakota name. It comes from theOjibwe name for the tribe, which means "little snakes." Many Lakotas and Dakotas use the word Sioux to refer to themselves when they're speaking English, however.

Yes, the Nakota, also known as the Stoney or Assiniboine, are speakers of a Siouan language similar to Lakota and Dakota. However, they were politically distinct from Lakota and Dakota people. In fact, though the Assiniboine and Sioux are allies today, in the past they were frequently at war with each other.

The original Lakota/Dakota homelands were in what is nowWisconsin,Minnesota,North Dakota, andSouth Dakota. The Sioux traveled freely, however, and there was also significant Sioux presence in the modern states of Iowa, Nebraska, Montana, and northern Illinois, and in south-central Canada. Today, most Sioux people live in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Saskatchewan.

There are 13 Sioux political subdivisions, combined into seven major tribes (the Mdewakanton, Sisseton, Teton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton, Yankton, and Yanktonai Sioux tribes.) However, today, these divisions have more cultural significance than political. Each Dakota/Lakota band is politicallyautonomous, which means it has its own land and leadership and makes decisions independently of other Sioux bands. Like most Native American tribes, each Lakota/Dakota community lives on its own reservation ("reserve," in Canada), which belongs to them and is legally under their control. However, the US and Canadian governments still consider the Sioux citizens. Each Lakota/Dakota band has its own government, laws, police, and other services, just like a small country. The political leader of a band is called "itancan" in the Dakota and Lakota language, usually translated as "chief" or "president" in English. The itancan used to be a man chosen by tribal councilmembers, but today Sioux tribal leaders can be of either gender and are popularly elected in most Dakota/Lakota bands, just as mayors and governors are.

Nearly all Lakota and Dakota people speak English, but about 15,000 Sioux Indians are bilingual in their nativeLakota/Dakota language. Despite pronunciation differences, Lakota and Dakota speakers can understand each other easily, just like people who speak American English and Canadian English can. If you'd like to know a few easy Sioux words, "hau" (pronounced similar to the English word "how") is a friendly greeting in both the Lakota and Dakota dialects, and "wašte" (pronounced wash-tay) means "good." You can see a picture glossary of Lakota animal wordshere-- click on each word to hear it spoken aloud.

There are many different Sioux bands. Here are the homepages of two of them,Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and theFlandreau Santee Sioux Tribe. On their websites, you can learn about Sioux history and culture and view plenty of photographs.

They do the same things any children do--play with each other, go to school and help around the house. Many Sioux children like to go hunting and fishing with their fathers. In the past, Indian children had more chores and less time to play, just like early colonists' children. But they did have dolls and toys to play with, and older boys in some bands liked to playlacrosse. Sioux mothers, like many Native Americans, traditionally carried their babies incradleboards on their backs--a custom which many American parents haveadopted now.

Sioux women were in charge of the home. Besides cooking and cleaning, a Dakota or Lakota woman built her family's house and dragged the heavy posts with her whenever the tribe moved. Houses belonged to the women in the Sioux tribes. Men were hunters and warriors, responsible for feeding and defending their families. Usually only men became Sioux chiefs, but both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine.

The Dakota and Lakota people lived in large buffalo-hide tents calledtipis (or teepees). Tipis were carefully designed to set up and break down quickly. An entire Sioux village could be packed up and ready to move within an hour. Originally tipis were only about 12 feet high, but after the Sioux acquired horses, they began building them twice that size. Here are somepictures of teepees. Today, Native Americans only put up a tepee for fun or to connect with their heritage. Most Sioux families live in modern houses and apartment buildings, just like you.

Sioux women wore long deerskin or elkskin dresses. Sioux men wore loincloths, leggings, and buckskin shirts. Here is a website withloincloth and legging pictures. The Sioux woremoccasins on their feet, which they often decorated with elaborate beadwork. Here is a website with pictures ofbeaded Indian moccasins. In bad weather, they also wore buffalo-hide robes. In colonial times, the Sioux adapted European costume such as vests, cloth dresses, and blanket robes. Here are morepictures of Sioux clothing styles, and some photographs and links aboutNative American clothes in general.

Sioux warriors and chiefs were well-known for their impressiveNative American feather headdresses, but they didn't wear them in everyday life. Both Sioux men and women wore their hair long, cutting it only when they were in mourning. There were many different traditional Sioux hairstyles, but long braids were the most common. Men often wrapped their braids in fur or tied quillwork strips around them. Here is a website with pictures ofAmerican Indian braids. On special occasions, Sioux people painted their faces and arms with bright colors and animal designs. They used different patterns for war paint and festive decoration.

Today, some Sioux people still wear moccasins or a beaded vest, but they wear modern clothes like jeans instead of breechcloths... and they only wear feathers in their hair on special occasions like a dance.

The Sioux tribes knew how to make Here is an article with pictures ofdugout and birchbark canoes, but more often, they traveled overland. Originally the Sioux used dogs pulling travois (a kind of drag sled) to help them carry their belongings. Once Europeans introduced horses to North America, the Sioux became known as expert riders and traveled greater distances. Here is an article with pictures ofhorse travois. Horse riding is still popular in the Sioux nation today, but like other Americans, Lakota and Dakota people also use modern vehicles like cars now.

What was Sioux food like in the days before supermarkets?
Originally the Lakota and Dakota Indians were corn farmers as well as hunters, but once they acquired horses they mostly gave up farming, and moved frequently to follow the seasonal migrations of the buffalo herds. Most of their diet was meat, especially buffalo, elk and deer, which they cooked in pits or dried and pounded into pemmican. The Sioux also collected chokecherries, fruit, and potatoes to eat. Here is a website with more information aboutNative American foods.

Sioux warriors used bows and arrows, spears, war clubs, and buffalo-hide shields. Here is a website with pictures and information aboutSioux Indian weapons. Hunters also used snares, and when Lakota or Dakota men hunted buffalo, they often set controlled fires to herd the animals into traps or over cliffs.

What other Native Americans did the Sioux tribe interact with?

The Sioux traded regularly with other tribes of the Great Plains. They particularly liked to trade buffalo hides and meat to farming tribes like theArikara in exchange for corn. These tribes usually communicated usingWhat are Sioux arts and crafts like?
Sioux women are known for their decorative embroidery withsign language.

The Sioux also fought wars with other tribes. Plains Indian tribes treated war differently than European countries did. They didn't fight over territory but instead to prove their courage, and so Plains Indian war parties rarely fought to the death or destroyed each other's villages. Instead, their war customs includedcounting coup (touching an opponent in battle without harming him), stealing an enemy's weapon or horse, or forcing the other tribe's warriors to retreat. Some tribes the Sioux frequently fought with included theAssiniboine,Ojibwa, andKiowa Indians.
What kinds of stories do the Sioux people tell?
There are lots of traditional Sioux legends and fairy tales. Storytelling is very important to the Sioux Indian culture. Here is a Lakota story about
beads andporcupine quills, and the men are known for their elaborateWhat about Sioux religion?
Spirituality and religion were important parts of Sioux ssiniboine life, and some people continue to practice traditional beliefs today. It is respectful to avoid imitating religious rituals for school projects since some Sioux people care about them deeply. You can read and learn about them, however.
