Weelllllll, that's an interesting question.  They are relatively big. 
They're real feisty, shall we say.  <g>  You may have heard of them as the 
Sioux or you may have heard of Pine Ridge and the big shoot out.  Or Sitting 
Bull?  Crazy Horse?  Black Elk?  (I have a first edition of that book) 
Leonard Peltier?

Saying Lakota takes in a whole bunch of folks.  The Lakota.  The Dakota. 
The Nakhota.  The Plains Indians.  The Oglala Lakota.  The Oglala Sioux. 
The Cheyenne River Sioux.  The Rosebud Sioux.  The Sisseton Wakpeton Sioux. 
The Standing Rock Sioux.  The Sioux Nation.

Now, in more recent history, they decided to grow hemp.  The feds came in 
and raided the rez.

You might be interested to know that they decided to withdraw from the U.S. 
a year or two ago and form their own country (parts of Nebraska, Wyoming, 
Montana and the Dakotas).  AND, it is technically legal because the U.S. 
hasn't honored the 30 or so treaties they have with the Lakotas.

And, for those living in up there in the Dakotas, little point of history, 
they never ceded ownership of the Black Hills <g>  Somewhere along the line 
the white folks in DC didn't catch that omission <<bg>>
