I was just thinking about the Native American/Sioux civ.
There are a fair number of reservations and indians living in Minnesota. I don't know if people realize this but most indians in the US call themselves Indian or Native, not Native American. Native American is a pc white person word that sounds like it was made up by a comittee, I know some people who find it mildly insulting. Anyway the proper name for the Sioux is Dakota (or Lakota). Sioux is what the French Canadian fur trappers called them back in the Voyageur era.
