TheSihásapa orBlackfoot Sioux are a division of theLakota people, Titonwan, or Teton.

Sihásapa is theLakota word for "Blackfoot", whereasSiksiká has the same meaning in theNitsitapi language, and, together with theKainai and thePiikani forms theNitsitapi Confederacy. As a result, theSihásapa have the same English name as theBlackfoot Confederacy (correctly: Nitsitapi Confederacy), and the nations are sometimes confused with one another.

The Sihásapa lived in the westernDakotas on theGreat Plains, and consequently are among thePlains Indians. Their official residence today is theStanding Rock Reservation^[1] in North and South Dakota and theCheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota, home also to theItazipco (No Bows), theMinneconjou (People Who Live Near Water) andOohenumpa (Two Kettle), all bands of the Lakota.

In 1880, John Grass provided a list of the bands (tiyóšpaye) of the Sihasapa:

• Sihasapa-Hkcha or Sihasapa qtca ("Real Blackfoot")
• Kangi-shun Pegnake or Kanxicu pegnake ("Crow Feather Hair Ornaments" or "Wear raven feathers in their hair")
• Glaglahecha or Glagla heca ("Slovenly", "untidy" or "Too lazy to tie their moccasins")
• Wazhazha or Wajaje ("Osage"),Kill Eagle's Band
• Hohe ("Rebels, i.e.Assiniboine")
• Wamnuga Owin or Wamnugaoin ("Cowrie-Shell Earrings" or "Shell ear ornaments or Pendants")
