Native American Tribe series.
Assiniboine, aka: Stoney
A tribe with very close affinities to the Nakota Sioux, the differences in dialect between the two suggesting a time of separation sometime before 1640. The Assiniboine call themselves "Nakoda." In 1658, they were living at Lake Alimibeg, between Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. At an earlier time they were probably at the headwaters of the Mississippi and drifted north from the constant warfare with the Dakota. They are of plains culture, and in dress are not much different from their neighbors, the Cree. They also practice polygamy an were known to sacrifice dogs to the spirits. Their name comes from Anishinaabe word that translates to "cooks by the use of stones."
