  The 
  Ponca 
  names 
  for 
  the 
  above 
  tribes 
  were 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  Omaha 
  

   names, 
  with 
  few 
  exceptions. 
  The 
  Crows 
  were 
  called 
  by 
  two 
  names, 
  

   Hu'patitha 
  and 
  Ko 
  n 
  xe' 
  wichasha". 
  The 
  names 
  given 
  by 
  Ponca 
  to 
  

   the 
  Yankton 
  and 
  the 
  Santee 
  were 
  identical 
  with 
  those 
  used 
  by 
  the 
  

   Omaha, 
  but 
  they 
  had 
  distinct 
  names 
  for 
  the 
  following 
  bands 
  of 
  Sioux: 
  

  

  Lower 
  Brule, 
  Ku'dawichasha. 
  Lower 
  people. 
  

   Rosebud 
  Brule, 
  Sha'u 
  n 
  ixti. 
  Real 
  or 
  Pure 
  Sioux. 
  

   Oglala, 
  Pine 
  Ridge 
  Sioux, 
  Sicho 
  n 
  'xu. 
  Burnt 
  leg. 
  

  

  The 
  Ponca 
  have 
  names 
  for 
  the 
  following 
  tribes 
  for 
  which 
  the 
  

   Omaha 
  have 
  none: 
  

  

  Cherokee, 
  Che'thuki. 
  Probably 
  a 
  corruption 
  of 
  Cherokee. 
  

   Ni'kathate, 
  Tonkawa. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  the 
  Ponca 
  gained 
  knowledge 
  of 
  these 
  two 
  tribes 
  

   while 
  in 
  the 
  Indian 
  Territory, 
  and 
  that 
  their 
  posession 
  of 
  distinctive 
  

   names 
  for 
  the 
  bands 
  of 
  the 
  Sioux 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  accounted 
  for 
  by 
  their 
  

   living 
  near' 
  the 
  people 
  and 
  fighting 
  both 
  for 
  and 
  against 
  them 
  during 
  

   the 
  last 
  century.
