The Yanktonais, a diminutive of the preceding name, and meaning the lesser or the little people of the End Village. Lewis and Clark described them as the Yanktons of the Plains, or Big Devils, who were on the heads of the Sioux, Jacques, and Red Rivers. Their present range is on the Missouri, above the Yanktons. From one branch of this band the Assiniboines are said to have sprung. Paboksa, or Cutheads, a branch of the Yanktons, and ranging above them. The I-san-teis, or Santees, another sub-band of the Yanktons, living originally in Minnesota and Iowa, but since lately on the Missouri, near the Yanktons. West of the Missouri, occupying the greater portion of Dakota, Wyoming, and portions of Montana and Nebraska, the general name of Tetons, or Tetonwans ("Village of the Prairie") has been given to the seven principal bands of the Dakotas inhabiting that region. Lewis and Clark placed them on their map in only two principal divisions, viz: as the "Tetans of the Burnt Woods" (Brules), and the "Tetans Saone," from which some suppose the word Sioux has been derived for the whole Dakota nation. The seven subdivisions as now recognized are the-- 1. _Siha-sa-pas_ or _Blackfeet_, on the Missouri in the neighborhood of the Cannonball River. 2. The _Si-chan-koo_ or _Burnt Thighs_, (Brules,) ranging on the Niobrara and White Rivers, from the Platte to the Cheyenne. 3. _Oncpapas_, or "those who camp by themselves," who roam over the country between the Cheyenne and Yellowstone Rivers. 4. _Minnekonjous_, "those who plant by the water," south of the Black Hills. 5. _Ita-zip-cho_, or _Sans Arcs_, "without bows," affiliating with the Oncpapas and Blackfeet, and ranging over much the same country. 6. _Ogalallas_, occupy the country between Fort Laramie and the Platte, although they are now confined to a reservation in the northwestern corner of Nebraska. Have the reputation of being the most friendly disposed toward the whites of all the Titonwans. Red Cloud, so well known as an Indian diplomat, is chief of this band. 7. _O-he-nom-pas_, or _Two Kettles_. Live principally about Fort Pierre; against whom it is said very few complaints have ever been made, they having always observed faithfully the stipulations of their treaties with the United States. In the Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for 1875, there are twenty-one sub-bands of Dakotas enumerated, numbering, in the aggregate, 53,044. Of these, there are fourteen represented by portraits of their leading men, viz:
