1857 Sep 5 Original New York Tribune - Dakota & Sioux Indian Relations MN Government Formation FL4
THE INDIAN TRIBES.
Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 27, 185%.
As an undue alarm seems to be abroad in regard to the tribes of Indians on our Western frontiers who have of late assumed a partially hostile attitude to the whites, I propose to give you a brief statement of the numbers and composition of the tribes or nation of Indians which are the most numerous in this section of the country, knowa as the Sioux or Dakotas, from which you can easily gather how formidable they would be when opposed to such a force as could be brought against them by the people of this Territory, numbering now 247,000 persons, as both Constitutional Conventions agree by estimation.
The Dakutas or Sioux, as they are more
COM-
monly called, consist of seven different bands of Indians, who are allied or leagued, as the term
Dakota signifies.
