The word Teton comes from the Lakota term tetonwan, meaning "dwellers on the Plains", so the Teton Sioux are the seven tribes of the Sioux living on the Great Plains:
- Hunkpapa
- Oglala
- Minneconjou
- Brule
- Two Kettle
- Sans Arc
- Blackfoot Sioux (not the same as the Blackfoot people of the far northern Plains)
