Best Answer

Traditionally, the Oglala Lakota Sioux did not have Family Names, or surnames. When they were required to register in order to receive land on the reservation and other assistance from the US Government, a surname was either chosen or given.

Many of the Oglala Lakota Sioux took the names of their parents or grandparents as a surname, or the name of a tribal leader. Others took or were given the surnames of other people in the area, names chosen by the Indian Agent or even the census takers or their interpreters.

The 1900 United States Federal Census for Shannon County, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota includes the following surnames for those whose race is listed as Indian:

Red Bear
