I believe it is the Ogala tribe.

Except, rampart, it's spelled Ogalala. One of the bands making up the Lakota Nation... others are Sans Arcs, Brule', Hunkpapa, Two Kettles and Blackfeet (not to be confused with the Blackfeet Tribe of the Upper Missouri region)

..and not forgetting Budgie and Severin.

According to several sources, a few decades ago, the U.S. Government purchased private land to create 19 national grasslands, one of which is in Nebraska and is called the Oglala National Grassland in the Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest. The U.S. Government named the grasslands for each area's Native American tribes. The tribe in the Oglala National Grassland is one of the several Sioux tribes. The tribe's proper name is the Oglala-Lakota Tribe.

However, the following can be found on the web site for the City of Ogallala: Ogallala received its name from the OGALA Sioux Indian tribe.  The Indians spelled the name Ogala and they pronounced it Oklada.  The word means "scatter," or "to scatter one's own."  Ogallala has been spelled in a variety of ways such as  Ogallalah, Ogallalla, and the present spelling OGALLALA.

Rather confusing to me, but it seems to me one could spell it with or without the extra L.

Southern Sioux included the Iowa, Kansa, Missouri, Omaha, Osage, Oto and Ponta.These tribes differed form the Dakota group in that, besides being buffalo hunters, they also were farmers and did not live in tepees except when on the march. The Omaha settled in Nebraska.

The Oglala was the principal division of the Teton Sioux   - and the most powerful of the Dakotas. These were the warriors and were almost continually at war with the white man or their Indian neighbours.
