12. Sioux – USA
Also commonly called Dakota, the Sioux people used to live at the source of the Mississippi River, and first encountered Europeans in the 17th century. They now mainly live in the areas that are currently known as North and South Dakota.
They were originally an agricultural tribe that gathered wild rice, and hunted deer and buffalo, but eventually became nomadic, hunting bison instead. Part of their culture is depicted in the movie Dancing with Wolves, where they live in tipis and wore clothes made of leather.
