How were the lakota Sioux homes?

Answer 1

The Lakota Sioux lived in teepees made out of long poles and wooden sticks. They lived in the plains but part of the Sioux lived in Minessota and Wisconsin so they got the wood from there. They hunted buffalo and conserved the hide so that's where they got the buffalo hide.

Answer 2

The homes varied. You have to keep in mind that Sioux was the grouping of any tribe that spoke a form of the Siouan language. The plains Sioux lived in Tipis while the east coast Sioux lived in dwellings other than Tipis. most of them where tepees made from woman of the tribe which would hold 5-7 people.

Answer 3

That depends on which particular tribe of the Sioux you mean. The Sioux were divided into three dialect groups of tribes: Lakota, Nakota and Dakota - the Lakota or Teton Sioux were furthest west, the Nakota in the middle and the Dakota furthest east.

The Lakota or Teton tribes were the Oglala, Minneconjou, Brule, No Bows, Two Kettles, Blackfoot Sioux and Hunkpapa. These were nomadic buffalo hunters of the plains who only used tipis.

The Nakota tribes were the Yankton and Yanktonai. They used both semi-permanent earth lodges like the Mandan, and tipis when out hunting buffalo.

The eastern Sioux or Dakota were made up of the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton tribes. They lived in bark-covered longhouses with pitched roofs, like many of the woodlands tribes.

Answer 4

The Sioux Indian Tribe used buffalo skins to build their homes, because after all they did hunt buffalo on the Great Plains.

Answer 5

They used to live in tepees when they traveled around hunting.
