{{Main|Lakota people}}

Prior to obtaining horses in the 17th century, the Lakota were located near present-day Minnesota. Dominating the northern Great Plains with their light cavalry, the western Sioux quickly expanded their territory to the [[Rocky Mountains]] (which they call {{Lang|dak|Heska}}, {{Gloss|white mountains}}) by the 1800s.

Their traditional diet includes [[American bison|bison]] and corn. They traditionally acquired corn mostly through trade with the eastern Sioux and their linguistic cousins, the [[Mandan]] and [[Hidatsa]] along the [[Missouri River]] prior to the reservation era.<ref name="riggs"/> The name ''Teton'' or {{Lang|dak|Thítȟuŋwaŋ}} is archaic among the people, who prefer to call themselves {{Lang|dak|Lakȟóta}}.<ref name="NLD">{{cite book |last=Ullrich |first=Jan |title=New Lakota Dictionary (Incorporating the Dakota Dialects of Yankton-Yanktonai and Santee-Sisseton) |publisher=Lakota Language Consortium |year=2008 |pages=1–2 |isbn=978-0-9761082-9-0 }}</ref> Today, the Lakota are the largest and westernmost of the three groups, occupying lands in both [[North Dakota|North]] and [[South Dakota]].
