2. Interesting, Wikipedia indicates a much smaller area for the Sioux (Oceti Sakowin)

4. My map was posted by a Lakota friend

I assumed it was accurate, but I suppose I should’ve researched it before reposting it as gospel. I guess my laziness is due to the fact that they were here first and undoubtedly know better than I do.

5. No it's okay. I think it represents a much wider time period than that when whites contacted their bands in the 1800s.

It does say ancestral. The tribes probably did a lot of roaming in warm and cool periods over thousands of years.

So I consider it in context and the Wikipedia maps in their narrower context. The wiki has other maps that seem to indicate some shifting westwards away from the colonists / settlers.

3. Interesting and thorny concept to explore. Perhaps they have launched this kind of challenge in the past? . . . . . nt
