"Dakota Territory" of which N. and S. Dakota were just a part of-----Montana and Wyoming were in the mix too, I believe.

BLASPHEMY! Chief Thunderpants will visit your teepee tonight.
Listen up:
Sioux
The Sioux Nation(s) are a group of Indian Nations collected under one rubric due to language, associations, traditions and an Act of Congress that
defined them as one "Nation".
The three tribes are the Lakota, the Dakota, and the Nakota.
The Nakota or Yankton Sioux were a small subset of the Sioux Nations.
The Lakota (also Teton) Sioux are the largest of the three subsets of the Sioux Nations. They are the stereotypical "plains indian" "Movie Indian",
complete with a complex horse driven culture, tipis, and head gear straight out of a John Wayne show.
Siouian Languages
The Siouian language group is a large family of languages that include the Sioux, the Mandian and the Haditsian. It is a verb last language that uses
infixes on the verb to identify the subject (that is, a verb like "to hit" apa is aMapa "I hit"; aWapa, "you hit" and just apa "he or she hits".)
Also, Lakota and Dakota have different grammars for women as for men.

I understand that Borglum spoke with a lisp too. Is that true?? If so what do you think is the relationship with the 18,734 Souix tribes that rode
down on Custer?

Well, I don't really know the history behind the monument for Crazy Horse. I simply looked at the model you displayed and it seemed so out of touch
with their culture. It seems to me that an Indian monument should be representative of their culture. I don't think Crazy Horse would have liked
himself remembered like that. It looks like a monument that Napoleon would have liked for himself - a heroic figure in the romantic sense of the word.
I'll have to read up on the Jefferson stuff. A couple of years ago the kids had to take on American historical figures and do a project on his/her
individual. Alex got Tecumseh and I spent a considerable amount of time studying the man. As I recall it was Andrew Jackson who basically redefined
all of the reservations east of the Mississippi causing most tribes to lose their land and move to reservations of others or perish. It seemed as
though there was a strong attempt by Congress to honor the agreements made with the tribes shortly after the Revolution until Jackson's presidency?
