Also, I just thought I'd point out that the word Sioux is also a corruption (by the French). Sioux is short for nadouéssioux, from Ottawa naadowesiwag, which IIRC means "little snakes."

iirc, if you take it out fully, it's "little snakes in the grass" or "treacherous snake" and i'm pretty sure it's ojibwae... most of what I know isn't of that language family
