The Brulé are one of the seven branches or bands (sometimes called "sub-tribes") of the Teton (Titonwan) Lakota American Indian nation. They are known as Sičháŋǧu Oyáte (in Lakota), or "Burnt Thighs Nation," and so, were called Brulé (lit. "burnt") by the French. The name may have derived from an incident where they were fleeing through a grass fire on the plains. Many Sicangu people live on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota, where they are federally recognized as the Rosebud Sioux Tribe or Sicangu Oyate. A smaller population lives on the Lower Brule Indian Reservation, on the west bank of the Missouri River in central South Dakota. The two tribes are politically completely independent of each other. == Historic Brulé Tiyošpaye or bands == Together with the Oglala Lakota, who are based at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, they are often called ''Southern Lakota.'' They were divided in three great regional tribal divisions: * Upper Brulé (''Heyata Wicasa Oyate'') * Lower Brulé (''Kul Wicasa Oyate'')〔(Lower Brule )〕 * Brulé of the Platte River According to the Brulé Medicine Bull (Tatánka Wakan), the people were highly decentralized, identifying mostly with the following ''tiyošpaye'' or bands, which collected in various local ''tiwahe'' (engl. Camps oder family circle): * Iyakoza * Chokatowela * Shiyolanka * Kanghi yuha * Pispiza wichasha * Waleghaunwohan * Wacheunpa * Shawala * Ihanktonwan * Nakhpakhpa * Apewantanka 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brulé」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
