Assiniboine
Definition
- Assiniboine, also known as Assiniboin, Hohe, or Nakota, Nakoda, Nakon or Nakona, or Stoney, is a Nakotan Siouan language of the Northern Plains. The name Assiniboine comes from the term Asiniibwaan, from Ojibwe, meaning 'Stone Siouans'. The reason they were called this was that Assiniboine people used heated stone to boil their food. In Canada, Assiniboine people are known as Stoney Indians, while they called themselves Nakota or Nakoda, meaning 'allies'. Within the Siouan language family, the Dakotan group consists of the Sioux languages (Dakota, Lakota), while the Nakoda group covers Assiniboine and the closely related Stoney.
