sioux
in a loose coalition of tribes - including dakota (ashâha), ojibwe, odawa, potawatomi, kickapoo (kîkâpôwa), meskwaki (fox), and sauk, along with the shawnee (shâwanôwa), cherokee (shanahkîha), and choctaw (châkitâha) from the south - they attacked the tribes of the illinois confederation ("illinois/inoca") (mashkotêwa) and tried to invade their tribal areas, which in turn made the "illinois/inoca" to their worst common enemies; the war continued for a great many years until the illinois confederation was destroyed. later they moved out on the prairie (mashkotêwi) along the mississippi and adopted the semi-sedentary lifestyle of plains indians (mashkotêwineniwa), in addition to hunting buffalo, they lived in villages, raised crops, and actively traded with other tribes. the sauk and allied eastern tribes were put in competition with the already resident tribes and this led to disputes and clashes with the dakota, pawnee (pânîha) and most of all the powerful osage (washâsha).
sauk people
most north american tribes relied upon a calendar of 13 months, relating to the annual number of lunar cycles. seasonal rounds and ceremonies were performed each moon. months were counted in the days between phase cycles of the moon. calendar systems in use in north america during this historical period relied on this simple system.
