Lakota Sioux

The Lakota Sioux are a Native American tribe originally from the Great Plains, particularly in North and South Dakota. They are part of the larger Sioux Nation, which includes other groups like the Dakota and Nakota. Traditionally, the Lakota were nomadic bison hunters, living in tipis and practicing a rich spiritual life centered on nature. Today, the Lakota maintain their cultural identity while also engaging in modern society. Challenges include economic hardship and historical trauma due to colonization, but they actively work to preserve their traditions, language, and rights.
