The Lakota are closely related to the western Dakota of Minnesota. After their adoption of the horse, šuƞkáwakháƞ ([ʃũˈkawaˈkʰã]) ('power/mystery dog') in the early 18th Century, the Lakota became part of the Great Plains culture with their eventual Algonkin-speaking allies, the Tsitsistas (Cheyenne), living in the northern Great Plains. Their society centered on the buffalo hunt with the horse. There were 20,000 Titonwan Lakota in the mid-18th century.

The name Lakota comes from the Lakota autonym, lakhóta "feeling affection, friendly, united, allied".

The names Teton and Tintowan comes from the Lakota name thíthųwą (the meaning of which is obscure). This term was used to refer to the Lakota by non-Lakota Sioux groups. Other derivations include: Ti ...

With the Louisiana Purchase (1803), the Americans acquired territory that included a portion of Comancheria, but during the next twenty years, American penetration of the Great Plains focused on the fur trade of the Missouri River. On the southern plains, French traders, now American citizens, continued their contacts with Wichita and Comanches. They were soon joined by an increasing number of Americans. Since much of the trade was conducted through the Wichita, Comanches remained distant and mysterious. American Indian agents in Louisiana w ...
