Lake Traverse Reservation
One of several Reservations in the State of South Dakota (a small part is in North Dakota), the lake traverse indian reservation, is a large Indian Reservation which has been horribly violated by the Americans. This Reservation was set aside for the Santee Dakota people who were the bitter enemy of the Chippewa's, and the Chippewa's (Winnebagos who are Chippewa's who absorbed many Dakotas) who could not stop the whites from destroying this Reservation. The Dakotas were willing to allow the white snakes to destroy their Reservation. It is also known as the Sisseton Reservation. It is very close to Minnesota and does cross the Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota line. It covers a total of 1,449 sq. mi. and has at least ten towns scattered across the Reservation. Only one of the towns is predominantly Indian. Of the total 927,366 acres, Indians only own 108,902 acres. As you can tell this Lake Traverse Reservation has been horribly violated by the Americans. In fact, it is obviously one of the worse cases of a Native American Reservation being violated by the Americans. Unfortunately, the whites could not keep themselves from stealing this Reservations excellant farm land, which it has an abundance of. Old Agency is the tribal headquarters but it is not a town. Below are the demographics of this Reservation. This Reservation is also another Anishinabe Reservation.
