I think it could be Lakota

[elliemay1]

//The Lakota, also called the Teton Sioux, are comprised of seven tribal bands and are the largest and most western of the three groups,//
Doesn't say they are mid-western

[elliemay1]

//Among the most powerful and dominant tribes were the Dakota or Sioux, who occupied large amounts of territory in the Great Plains of the Midwest. //

[JJ109]

The Lakota also were present in the Dakotas, and are therefore also Midwestern
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakota_people

Lakota and Dakota are both possibilities, So are the Nakota, so there is no way of telling which answer is required

[elliemay1]

Yes, this is very interesting:
//There is no real difference. "Lakota" and "Dakota" are different pronunciations of the same tribal name, which means "the allies." One Sioux dialect has the letter "L" in it, and the other dialect does not. This is only a pronunciation difference, not a political one.//

[elliemay1]

also:
//he Dakota were the largest group and are considered to be the mother group. The Nakota were next in size, followed by the Lakota.//

I’d go for Lakota myself because that’s the most common name, at least in my experience.

[elliemay1]

Was going to say toss a coin for it but that leaves Nakota out!
