Great Sioux Nation

The Great Sioux Nation is a collective term for several Native American tribes, primarily the Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota, who share cultural and linguistic ties. These tribes historically inhabited the regions of the northern Great Plains, including present-day North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and parts of Canada. Known for their rich traditions, resistance to European-American settlement, and pivotal roles in history like the Battle of Little Bighorn, they have maintained a distinct cultural identity while advocating for sovereignty, rights, and recognition of their lands and heritage within the United States.
