Description
Original Fine Art Photography and digital artwork by Donna Kennedy...
The name Sioux derives from the Chippeway word “Nadowessioux” which means “Snake” or “Enemy.” The Sioux generally call themselves Lakota or Dakota, meaning “friends, allies, or to be friendly.” The Sioux are a proud people with a rich heritage. They were the masters of the North American plains and prairies, feared by other tribes from the great lakes to the Rockies.
Though the Sioux were known as great warriors, the family was considered the center of Sioux life. Children were called “Wakanisha” which meant sacred and were the center of attention.
The Sioux were a deeply spiritual people, believing in one all-pervasive god, Wakan Tanka, or the Great Mystery. Religious visions were cultivated and the people communed with the spirit world through music and dance.
