| - The Lakota are part of a confederation of seven related Sioux tribes, the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, or "Seven Fires Counsil ". They speak the Lakota, the westernmost of the three Siouan language groups, and currently occupy lands in what is modern-day North and South Dakota. In turn, the Lakota are themselves subdivided into seven bands, or "sub-tribes":
* Sičháŋǧu (Brulé, Burned Thighs)
* Oglála ("They Scatter Their Own")
* Itázipčho (Sans Arc, Without Bows)
* Húŋkpapȟa ("End Village", Camps at the End of the Camp Circle)
* Mnikȟówožu ("Plant beside the Stream", Planters by the Water)
* Sihásapa ("Black Feet")
* Oóhenuŋpa ("Two Boilings", or "Two Kettles") Among the Native peoples in North America, the Lakota people are widely—perhaps the most—renown for their fighting of resistance against the encroaching white colonists; several notable leaders, warriors, and spiritual men of the Native American resistance were a part of the tribe, such as: Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake (Sitting Bull) from the Húnkpapȟa band; Maȟpíya Ičáȟtagya (Touch the Clouds) from the Mnikȟówožu band; and, Tȟašúŋke Witkó (Crazy Horse), Maȟpíya Lúta (Red Cloud), Heȟáka Sápa (Black Elk), and Siŋté Glešká (Spotted Tail), from the Oglala band.
