5. Name origins
 The name "Sioux" is an abbreviated
form of Nadouessioux borrowed into
Canadian French from Nadoüessioüak
from the early Odawa exonym:
naadowesiwag "Sioux".

6. Reserves and First Nations
 The Santee and Lakota were forced to
accept white-defined reservations in
exchange for the rest of their
lands, and domestic cattle and corn in
exchange for buffalo. They became
dependent upon annual federal
payments guaranteed by treaty.

7. Today, one half of all enrolled Sioux in the United
States live off the reservation. The land holdings
of the these First Nations are called Indian
Reserves.

9. Lakota
 The Sioux likely obtained horses
sometime during the seventeenth
century. The Teton division of the
Sioux emerged as a result of this
introduction. Dominating the northern
Great Plains with their light
cavalry, the western Sioux quickly
expanded their territory further to the
Rocky Mountains . The Lakota once
subsisted on the buffalo hunt, and on
corn.
