˜Sioux Culture and History –

As a complement to our Sioux language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Sioux tribe and their society. Please note that Siouxs and other American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Sioux history is interesting and important, but the Sioux Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Please contact us if you have an Sioux link to add.
