Great Sioux Reservation

The Great Sioux Reservation was the original area encompassing what are today the various Indian reservations in South Dakota and Nebraska. The reservation was established in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, and included all of present-day western South Dakota (commonly known as "West River" South Dakota) and modern Boyd County, Nebraska. This area was established by the United States as a reservation for the Teton Sioux, also known as the Lakota: the seven western bands of the "Seven Council Fires" (the Great Sioux Nation).
