NORGE Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscom...36100_sioux.htm interesting we're fighting over a put down The term Sioux is a fragment of the French and Ojibwa word nadouessioux, which is generally believed to be a derogatory term meaning "little snakes." The name resulted from a history of territorial conflicts between the Sioux and the Ojibwas, who were located to the east of the Sioux. Contemporary Sioux prefer the terms Dakota, Nakota, and Lakota when referring to themselves as a people and a nation, for these are the names of the group's different dialects, regions, and economies.

star2city Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 This has already been discussed ad nauseum: http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...20entry121020 The French or English usage of the word "Sioux" has never been a perjorative. What is interesting is the word meanings that other Native tribes call the Sioux. Presumably, in those native tongues, the Siouxan people are still referred by those names. Wonder if political correctness will force the Ute, Crow, Arapaho, Shoshone, Comanche, and Yakima languages to be altered to prevent hostile and abusive meanings. Ab-boin-ug, Boinug or Obwahnug, Wanak, Chippewa name, meaning "roasters" from their custom of torturing foes. Ba-akush', Caddo name. Ba-ra-shūp'-gi-o, Crow name. Chah'-ra-rat, Pawnee name. Coupe-gorges, French rendering of a name given them in the sign language. Cut-throats, English equivalent of same. Hand Cutters, translation of Ute name. Its ha'tski, Hidatsa name, meaning "long arrows." Kaispa, Sarsi name. K'odalpa-Ki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 http://www.standingrock.org/ enough said. The people of these nations are often called "Sioux", a term that dates back to the seventeenth century when the people were living in the Great Lakes area. The Ojibwa called the Lakota and Dakota "Nadouwesou" meaning "adders." This term, shortened and corrupted by French traders, resulted in retention of the last syllable as "Sioux." There are various Sioux divisions and each has important cultural, linguistic, territorial and political distinctions. If you read this one it doesn't say anything about small snakes.

Goon Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Uhm, an adder is a small snake. My bad. Poisonous snake of the viper family. In Great Britain the only venomous snake is the adder. Adult can usually recover from the effects of its bite. In Africa are found the related puff and night adder. The names puff adder and spreading adder are sometimes applied to the harmless hog-nosed snake of North America . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
