One of several Reservations at the State of South Dakota, Crow Creek Indian Reservation is located at central South Dakota along the Missouri River and is connected to the Lower Brule Reservation. It's population does include a smaller non Indian population. It was opened up to white settlement after the illicit Dawes Act did its ugly work. It does have an Arikara, Assiniboine, Hidatsa (the Hidatsa are the Crow and are also known as the Gros Ventre which means they are Anishinabe) and Mandan population. Ojibwa author and leader George Copway is responsible for Crow Creek Reservation, Lower Brule Reservation and Great Sioux Reservation. They've forgotten about Copway! Crow Creek Reservation has a total size of 422.0 sq. mi. Including the adjoining Lower Brule Reservation the total size of the Reservation is 761.0 sq. mi.
It is the Chippewa's (the Anishinabek or Ojibwa's) who are the famous Sioux Indians of the Great Plains. When Latin's commenced contact with the Lake Superior Anishinabek in the 17th century, they supposedly named them Saulteaux. However, that information was very likely corrupted by whites. They really named the Chippewa's who lived along Lake Superiors eastern Shores the Sault, after the name of a trading post located along Lake Superiors eastern shores. The name of that trading post was Sault Ste. Marie. Sault is pronounced identically to Sioux. The English adopted the name for the Chippewa's but used it to identify the plains Chippewa's. In Canada, the Sault was eventually changed to Saulteaux which is pronounced like "soe-toe." After the Reservation was established and Indian children were forced to go to white Christian schools, the whites eventually forced the Chippewa's living on the Crow Creek Reservation, to lose their Chippewa Tribal identity. Whites make up around 10% of the Reservations population. Whites also own (126,086 acres or about one third of the Reservation) much of the Reservations land. Below are the demographics of this Reservation. Average household size for the Crow Creek Reservation is 4.0 persons per housing unit. That means there is a housing shortage there. There is a total of 551 housing units on the Reservation, with renter occupied units the majority (340), while owner occupied units number 211.
