I've been meaning to supply the reference for a comprehensive reference on
Siouan kinship systems:

Lesser, Alexander.  1958.  Siouan Kinship.  Ph.D. DIssertation, Columbia
Unversity.

I don't seem to have a DAI number.  This was based on fieldwork in the
late 1920s plus publications availble at the time of writing, and
published long after it was written.

There is also a comprehensive analysis of Siouan kinship terms by G.H.
Matthews.  I believe it appeared in American Anthropologist, but I've
misplaced the reference.
