The Sioux Tribe
"Dream Catcher" by Joanne Bird
The Sioux tribe is part of the Siouan family. They have lived on the west bank of the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains. Like the Navajo nation the Sioux tribe were agricultural, growing an abundance of corn. They had domesticated dogs, that helped to move the community. Later the tribe domesticated horses to help with the daily chores and moving. In the community the Sioux lived in many different types of houses including; wigwams, lodges, and skin tipis.
The Sioux are also a very spiritual group of people. They participate in festivals, ceremonies, and rituals; including a long summer ritual. The Sioux people were more violent, the males had to go off to war as a right of passage.
