- Title
SUSTAINING THE SIOUX CONFEDERATION: YANKTONAI INITIATIVES AND INFLUENCE ON THE NORTHERN PLAINS, 1680–1880.
- Authors
Galler Jr., Robert W.
- Abstract
From the late-seventeenth to the late-nineteenth century, Yanktonais played a crucial role in sustaining the Sioux confederation. They served within intertribal forces resisting American encroachment, on diplomatic teams that sought peaceful initiatives, and as cultural mediators within the Sioux confederation. This essay argues that Yanktonais both strengthened internal links within the confederation and helped to establish Sioux significance on the northern plains.
