=Sioux Indians.= A western tribe, occupying the country between the west
end of Lake Superior and the head waters of the Mississippi when French
explorers and missionaries first went among them. Radisson and Chouart
wintered among them in 1661-1662; they were visited by Du Lhut about
1678; and constant references are made to the tribe in the _Jesuit
Relations_ of the seventeenth century. Fierce and implacable by nature,
they were rightly known as the Iroquois of the West. They are described
in the narratives of Hennepin and other early writers. =Index=: =Hd=

=Sitka.= Capital of Alaska. Baranof built a fort there in 1799, which he
named Archangel Gabriel. It was captured by the natives in 1802, and
recaptured by the Russians two years later. The same year, another fort
was built near by, which was called Archangel Michael. The town which
grew up about it was known as New Archangel, or Sitka. The latter name
is of native origin, and the meaning is unknown. =Bib.=: McCormick,
