/dəˈkoʊtənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of Dakotan; members of the Dakota people or people from the Dakota territory.

Etymology

Plural of 'Dakotan,' the English term for a Dakota person, using standard '-s' pluralization.

Kelly Says

When referring to Indigenous peoples in plural, English adds '-s' just like any other noun—'Dakotans,' 'Navajans,' 'Cherokees'—though Indigenous groups themselves use their own terms!
