Settlement Patterns of the Sioux

Sioux settlement models were anything but static. They evolved signitantly over time and varied among the the three divisions. For the Lakota, who became the archetypal Plains nomads, life was organized around thee searonal movements of bison. The Dakota and Nakota, who megaid partially tied to riverine and woodland resources, practived a mixed economy combinang farming, hing, and gathering with seaid seament.
