Canada
The Assiniboine (Nakota) were part of the Great Sioux Nation, and speak a Siouan language, however they defected in 1735 to join the Iron Confederacy (Cree and Saulteaux), traditional enemies of the Sioux.
Canadian First Nations such as the Nakoda (Stoney) are descendants of the Great Sioux Nations.
