{{Unreferenced|date=December 2009}} |
|||
The '''Sihásapa''' or '''Blackfoot Sioux''' are a division of the Titonwan, or Teton (also known as [[Lakota people|Lakota]]) [[Sioux]]. |
|||
''Sihásapa'' is the [[Lakota language|Lakota]] word for "Blackfoot", whereas ''Siksiká'' has the same meaning in the [[Blackfoot language]]. Therefore, both nations have the same English name and sometimes are confused with one another. |
|||
The Sihásapa lived in the western [[The Dakotas|Dakotas]] on the [[Great Plains]], and consequently are among the [[Plains Indians]]. Their official residence today is the [[Cheyenne River Indian Reservation|Cheyenne River Reservation]] in South Dakota, home also to the Itazipco (No Bows), the Minneconjou (People Who Live Near Water)and Oohenumpa (Two Kettle), all bands of the Lakota. |

*Sihasapa-Hkcha or Sihasapa qtca (“Real Blackfoot”) |
|||
*Kangi-shun Pegnake or Kanxicu pegnake (“Crow Feather Hair Ornaments” or “Wear raven feathers in their hair”) |
|||
*Glaglahecha or Glagla heca (“Slovenly”, “untidy” or “Too lazy to tie their moccasins”) |
|||
*Wazhazha or Wajaje (“Osage”), [[Kill Eagle]]’s Band |
|||
*Hohe (“Rebels, i.e. Assiniboine”) |
|||
*Wamnuga Owin or Wamnugaoin (“Cowrie-Shell Earrings” or “Shell ear ornaments or Pendants”) |
|||
==Famous Sihásapa== |
|||
* Charging Thunder (1877–1929). Traveled to [[City of Salford|Salford]], England at age 26 as part of [[Buffalo Bill]]'s Wild West Show in 1903 and remained in London when the show left town. He married Josephine, an American horse trainer who had just given birth to their first child, Bessie, and together they settled in [[Darwen]], before moving to [[Gorton]]. His name was changed to George Edward Williams, after registering with the British immigration authorities to enable him to find work. He died from pneumonia on July 28, 1929, and is buried in Gorton's cemetery.<ref>{{Cite news|title=My grandad Charging Thunder|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/articles/2006/01/20/200106_charging_thunder_feature.shtml|date=January 20, 2006|publisher=BBC|accessdate=August 21, 2012}}</ref> |
