Note: This is a federally-recognized reservation stewarded by the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, a federally-recognized tribe within the Lakota Nation. The reservation spans approximately 258,560 acres of prairie land in Lyman and Stanley Counties, South Dakota. The Lakota Nation's ancestral homelands stretch from the Rocky Mountains and the Great Lakes to the Missouri and Platte Rivers in present-day South Dakota, the Yellowstone River in Wyoming and Montana, and south of the Great Lakes in Minnesota. Upon European settlement in the early 19th century, the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe was forced to sign a series of treaties that resulted in the loss of most of their ancestral territory. The current reservation boundaries were formally established by a federal act dated March 2, 1889. |
