Chief Whitecap Information

11 Dakota A tremendous name is Dakota, meaning We The People. Through myriad generations It has served us well. In the eighteenth century the French used a Chippewa word to designate our tribe. It was misinterpreted and mispronounced. Nadoweis-Im-Eg was the word; and its meaning, Lesser Adders. The French used only part of it; and they called us Sioux. The White Man took his cue from the French, so all called us Sioux. We have never liked the word. We are not snakes. Honourable men and honourable women have been our heritage; and we fought only to preserve our own way of life. When a group of people live just a step from hunger, it is an eternal axiom that they will not be imposed upon. We love the name Dakota. It is an honourable name. It has worn well through myriad battles. It wore well through our buffalo hunts. Author Unknown Read the poem aloud and discuss with the class how the poem matches with Chief Whitecap
