Pair of Lakota Sioux Beaded Moccasins - C3753.50
The Lakota are the western-most of the three Sioux groups, occupying lands in both North and South Dakota. The Lakota were originally referred to as the Dakota when they lived by the Great Lakes, however, because of European settlement they were pushed away from the Great Lakes region and later called themselves the Lakota which became part of the Sioux.
Today, the Lakota are found mostly in the five reservations of western South Dakota: Rosebud Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Lower Brulé Indian Reservation, Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, and Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
