The Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota nations whose Sun Dance spirituality, Little Bighorn victory, and Standing Rock resistance made them the enduring symbol of Native American sovereignty.
Sioux People — the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, the Seven Council Fires, the great alliance of Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota nations whose traditional territory swept across the northern plains from the Mississippi to the Bighorn Mountains, a people transformed by the horse into the dominant military and political power of the northern plains whose warriors, spiritual leaders, and statesmen defended their homeland with a genius and a ferocity that made them the most formidable opponents the United States Army faced in the entire history of the Indian Wars. The Sioux world — whose Sun Dance ceremony of fasting, piercing, and prayer represented the individual's sacrifice for the wellbeing of the people, whose sacred Black Hills guaranteed by the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie were stolen within six years when gold was discovered and the United States abandoned its treaty obligations to settler pressure, whose Battle of the Little Bighorn of 1876 where Crazy Horse's military genius and Sitting Bull's spiritual authority united Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors to annihilate Custer's Seventh Cavalry in the most decisive Native victory over the American Army in plains history, whose Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890 killed three hundred Lakota men, women, and children in the last military engagement of the Indian Wars, and whose Standing Rock resistance of 2016 drew water protectors from across the continent to defend the Missouri River and assert indigenous sovereignty against the Dakota Access Pipeline — carries today in the tribal nations of the northern plains a legacy of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and the water protectors that no defeat has ever permanently extinguished.
