Horse racing of Sioux Indians, near Fort Pierre. The Sioux are groups of Native American tribes and First Nations peoples in North America. The Sioux comprise three major divisions based on language divisions: the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota. The Spanish introduced horses to the Sioux in the 16th century. After the arrival of the horse the Indians could hunt from horseback, choosing only the most desirable of targets for their prey. Many religious ceremonies were based on the horse and its contribution to the life of the Indian. The Oglala Dakota tribe used horse medicine to influence the outcome of horse races, to cure sick and wounded horses, to calm a fractious horse and to make broodmares have fine foals.
