1885J. O. Dorsey in Smithsonian Inst. Rep. 1883 919 The term ‘Siouan’ has been applied to that family of Indians which has been known heretofore as the ‘Dakotan Family’. It is unfortunate that we are obliged to use this adjective, which is derived from ‘Sioux’, as the latter is not a genuine Indian word... In honor of Albert Gallatin, who was the first to classify the Indians of this family as the ‘Sioux’, the Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution has adopted the new term, ‘Siouan’, as the name of this family. 1889Amer. Naturalist Jan. 75 The Siouan group had its habitat on the prairies between the Mississippi and Missouri. 1900,1907[see Crow n.4 and a.]. 1929E. Sapir in Encycl. Brit. V. 139/2 Hokan-Siouan...
