=== History  ===
=== History  ===
Some of the first non-Indians among the Sioux were Jesuit explorers and missionaries during the 1600's.
The Sioux migrated westward to the Missouri River area and beyond pushed by inter tribal conflict with the [[Chippewa Indians|Chippewa]] and encroaching settlers.
During the mid 1860's the federal government wanted to establish the Bozeman Trail, the military began establishing forts, these actions were the spark for Red Cloud's War. Chief Red Cloud lead his warriors, they were joined by other tribes in their fight against the fort and troops the Indians were successful in blocking the establishments of the Trail.
Many Sioux stayed in the Midwest, some moved further west in to the Rocky Mountain area and Montana.
'''** Three major divisions'''
# '''Eastern or Santee Sioux,''' last to leave traditional homelands near Lake Superior. Subgroups: Mdewakantonwan, Wahpekute, Sisseton and Wahpeton. Their descendants today live on Fort Totten Reservation in North Dakota and on Lake Traverse (Sisseton) and Flandreau Reservation in South Dakota, Santtee Reservation in Nebraska, Fort Peck Reservation in Montana and in small reservations in Minnesota. 
# '''The Middle, or Wiciyela Sioux,''' Two groups: Yankton and Yanktonai. Today they are on the Yankton and Crow Creek Reservations in South Dakota and Standing Rock and Fort Totten Reservations in North Dakota and Fort Peck, Montana.
# '''Western or Teton Sioux''' the largest Sioux Division. Seven sub-bands: Oglala, Brule, Sans Arcs, Blackfeet, Minnekonjou, Two Kettle, and Hunkpapa. They live in South Dakota, on Pine Ridge, Rosebud, Lower Brule, Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Reservations.

==== Treaties  ====
==== Treaties  ====
During the latter part of the 18th Century and most of the 19th Century, treaties were negotiated between the federal government and individual Indian tribes. The treaties provide helpful information about the history of the tribe, but usually only include the names of those persons who signed the treaty. See [[American Indian Treaties with the United States]] for more more information about treaties.
Treaties to which the Sioux Indians were a part were:
