Siouan Family. The most populous 

 linguistic family n. of Mexico, next to 

 the Algonciuian. The name is taken 

 from a term applied to the lai"gest and 

 best known tribal group or confederacy 

 belonging to the family, the Sioux or 

 Dakota, which, in turn, is an abbrevia- 

 tion of Nadowessioux, a French corrup- 

 tion of Nnduve-is-iw, the appellation given 

 them by the Chippewa. It signifies 

 'snake,' 'adder,' and, by metaphor, 

 'enemy.' See Dakota. 



Before changes of domicile took place 

 among them, resulting from contact with 

 whites, the princii^al body extended from 

 the w. bank of the Mississippi northward 

 from the Arkansas nearly to the Rocky 

 mts., except for certain sections held by 

 the Pawnee, Arikara, Cheyenne, Arapaho, 

 Blackfeet, Comanche, and Kiowa. The 

 Dakota proper also occupied territory on 

 the E. side of the river, from the mouth 

 of the Wisconsin to Mille Lacs, and the 

 Winnebago were about the lake of that 

 name and the head of Green bay. North- 

 ward Siouan tribes extended some dis- 

 tance into Canada, in the direction of L. 

 Winnipeg. A second group of Siouan 

 tribes, embracing the Catawba, Sara or 

 Cheraw, Saponi, Tutelo, and several oth- 

 ers, occupied the central part of North 

 Carolina and South Carolina and the 

 piedmont region of V^irginia (see Mooney, 

 Siouan Tribes of the East, Bull. B. A. E., 

 1894), while the Biloxi dwelt in Missis- 

 sippi along the Gulf coast, and the Ofo on 

 Yazoo r. in the same state. 



According to tradition the Mandan and 

 Hidatsa reached the upper Missouri from 

 the N. E., and, impelled by the Dakota, 

 moved slowly upstream to their present 

 location. Some time after the Hidatsa 

 reached the Missouri internal troubles 

 broke out, and part, now called the 

 Crows, separated and moved westward 

 to the neighborhood of Yellowstone r. 

 The Dakota formerly inhabited the for- 

 est region of s. Minnesota, and do not 

 seem to have gone out upon the plains 

 until hard pressed by the Chippewa, who 

 had been supplied with guns by the 

 French. According to all the evidence 

 available, traditional and otherwise, the
