The Sioux Indians clothes are not like ours today. They had clothes made out of animal skins. The common skins were deer skins. Women and men both wore shirts and leggings. The clothes would have many bright designs and decorations on them. For example they might have a necklace made out of an animal they had killed themselves. They also might have feathers in their hair, shells on the clothes, and paint on their clothes or body. They would make the paint out of many different things like burnt clay or berries. ** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">

They could not go to a store and grab something off of a shelf like we did. They all had to hunt for their food. If someone found some food he or she would always share it with the family. The Sioux Indians lived in a round tent called a tipi. The tipi had only one room and needed to be big to keep several people in it. The tipi would have wooden poles for the shape and structure it. I t would also have a covering on it so that it would keep the people warm. There is a hole or crack on the top so that the smoke from a fire can rise up. Tipis were often decorated with paintings of animals, indians, symbols, and more. The Indians would move a lot so they picked tipis because the are easy to pack up and set back up again. **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">The Sioux Indian tribe met Lewis and Clark also known as the Corps. When the Sioux Indians saw them they were not very sure about how they would act. The corps came up to them, including Sachagewea and tried to sign something out. They could not speak Sioux so thats why they signed to them. Some things that they signed they did wrong. It made the Sioux people angry therefore making the Sioux's want to kill or hurt them in some way. They tried to start a fight but The Corps of Discovery moved on before the Sioux's had the chance.  **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">
