  2. SIOUX • The Sioux maintain many separate tribal governments scattered across several reservations in North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Montana in the United States; and Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan in Canada.

  3. SIOUX • TȟatȟáŋkaÍyotake (Sitting Bull) — Sioux Chief famous for role in the Battle of Little Bighorn. The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as Custer's Last Stand, occurred on June 25 and 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana. • The U.S. Seventh Cavalry, including the Custer Battalion, a force of 700 men led by George Armstrong Custer, suffered a severe defeat. Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew, and a brother-in-law.

  4. SIOUX SUN DANCE • This deeply spiritual and grueling ceremony is held at the time of the Summer Solstice and lasts from four to eight days. • While each tribe may do the ceremony in different ways, each tribe includes dancing, singing, drumming, experiencing of visions, and fasting. Some tribes, like the Sioux, practice self-torture by the piercing of the skin on the chest or back as a personal sacrifice the individual makes for the good of all of the people of the tribe. • A Purification ritual (Sweat Lodge ceremony) always precedes this ceremony for the Sioux people.

  5. SIOUX GOD: WAKAN TANKA • Among the reasons people choose to participate in the Sun Dance ritual is to thank the Creator / Great Mystery / WakanTanka for the blessings received, fulfilling a vow made in a crisis for help, asking for protection of loved ones in harms way, asking for physical healing of a sick family member or friend, and asking for the protection of the whole tribe or nation.

  6. Poetry Terms • Simile: compares 2 things/ideas • One familiar thing & one not-so-known thing • As cold as ice • Metaphor: compares 2 things/ideas just like simile (familiar & unfamiliar things are compared) • No like or as • Love is a rose • Alliteration: repeating of consonant sounds at the beginning of words • “…leaving the sand to silent, salt-sprayed ghosts.”

  7. “The Secrets of Color” Poem • Choose Color • Circle 3-4 “mood words” • Write 5-8 line poem • Use simile/metaphor or alliteration
