Where Are The Sioux From?

The Suiox are a tribe form the areas of North and South Dakota and parts of Minnnesota and Nebraska and all the way up to Manitoba and Saskatchewan in Canada. It has been estimated that the sioux have been living in these areas since the early 17th century when they became allies with French Merchants who where trying to control the fur trade. The areas they have lived in are known for being cold and have snow freaquently. The Sioux were bery good with using furs and making clothing to stay warm. Some of those clothing articles were buffalo hide moccasins and robes. After the colonial age they started to wear more European clothing to stay warm such as vests and cloth dresses. The Sioux are a big influence on the areas they are in but the communities they are surrounded by also effect them. Throughout the 17 and 1800s the Sioux changed clothing and even technological things in there villages. The Sioux are very adaptive to there surroundings since the weather can change from warm to cold over any time of ther year. These people are a great example of how humans can change to fit there surroundings to live how they desire.
