The Sioux (Brave New World)

Adds the Sioux to the base game.

The Sioux are a Native American people in North America, traditionally belonging to the Great Sioux Nation or Seven Council Fires. They can be subdivided into three major divisions based on dialect and culture: the Santee, the Yankton-Yanktonai, and the Lakota. As each group adapted to different Plains environments, their lifestyles changed and diverged from one another. Yet, they maintained their political, economic, and social ties through intermarriage, trade, religious ceremonies, communal hunting, and military alliances. They are perhaps best known today through the image of the Lakota hunting Buffalo across the Great Plains and as a symbol of native resitance to U.S. westward expansion. The Sioux first came into contact with Europeans during the 17th century which would begin a series of conflicts as European settlers continued to push west onto Sioux lands. After three major wars and numerous other skirmishes, the battle of Wounded Knee in December 1890 marked the end of Sioux resistance as hundreds of Sioux men, women, and children were massacred by U.S. troops. Today, the majority of the Sioux live at the 2,782 square mile Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

Note:
- This civilization requires the Brave New World expansion.
- Updates to the Mod will most likely break save games. Please do not update until you are ready to begin a new game.
- I am aware that “Sioux” is pronounced wrong in the intro. I didn't forward a pronunciation guide when getting it recorded. It is simply not feasible to fix at the moment in what is otherwise an excellent recording by Charlatan Alley.
