My name is Ammar , I am going to tell you all about the Sioux. Then you are going to tell me all about the essay. And here is all about it. We were a tribe of Native Americans who lived in the Great Plains. They flourished for hundreds if not thousands of years, before they were decimated and re-settled by White Men in after a long series of wars in the 1800’s.
We were a very religious people. Like almost (if not) all Native Americans, they were Polytheistic-although, unlike other polytheistic tribes, they did believe in one supreme power. They called the supreme power Wakan Tanka, the great spirit, who includes all the other gods combined, most notably Wi, the sun, Skan, the sky and judge of everyone, and Maka the earth. Other famous and important powers are The buffalo, the four winds, bear, the four directions, Hanwi the the moon, Iktomi the trickster, and Tate the wind.
The Sioux had many rituals. Examples are the sun dance and heyokas. Heyokas were people who dreamed of thunder or a legendary thunderbird. Heyokas would do everything backwards-including riding horses. They interpreted dreams. They basically were religious clowns. If and when they want to quit this role, they would rid themselves of it by sticking their hand in a steaming kettle and drawing a chunk of meat out from it. The sun dance was a 12 day prayer to the sun. The fir
Another source of food was the moose and the elk, although one didn’t find them as frequently as the buffalo.
Since the Sioux were nomadic, the perfect types of shelter for them were tipis. They were almost never punished and were allowed to make their own decisions from an early age.
Although the Sioux had early successes, they were in the end beaten.
Before 1750 at around the “coming-of-age” ceremony the parents would arrange a match. After 1750, though people got married to who they wanted out of their own free will, not predetermined. Also, her next child was a whirlwind. Women usually wore moccasins, knee-length dresses and leggings. They then stuck sticks attached to the Sacred Pole into their chests.
Children were treated very nicely. He got trapped, though, and the Sioux finished him off with his 81 men. The terrain was extremely good for horses on the Great Plains and by the early 1800s the Sioux were considered the finest light cavalry in the world. Skan, the sky and judge of all the other gods, punished all 5 of them.
