Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota all
Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota all are Sioux Indians
The Lakota and the Dakota,
together with the less-known Nakota Nation,
formed three geographic and linguistic members
of the Oceti Sakowin,
which means "Seven Council Fires."
The name refers to seven Indian groups
of the northern Great Plains;
the groups were collectively called the Sioux by Europeans.
Traditionally, in Lakota/Dakota/Nakota
a persons age was determined
by the number of winters one had survived
and not the actual date of birth that many of us now celebrate.
Winter months were, and are,
extremely difficult in the Northern Plains.
Surviving a winter meant you lived through another year.
