The Lake Traverse Indian Reservation is the homeland of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, a branch of the Santee Dakota group of Native Americans. The reservation is located in parts of five counties in extreme northeastern South Dakota and parts of two counties in southeastern North Dakota, USA. Over 60 percent of its land area lies in Roberts County, South Dakota, but there are lesser amounts in Marshall, Day, Grant, and Codington counties in South Dakota, as well as Sargent and Richland counties in North Dakota. Its resident population of 10,408 persons was counted during the 2000 census. About one-third of its inhabitants claim to be of solely Native American heritage. Its largest community is the city of Sisseton, South Dakota. ==Tribal information== * Reservation: Former Lake Traverse; parts of Marshall, Day, Codington, Grant and Roberts Counties * Division: Santee * Bands: Sisseton (Sinsin Tunwan: "Swamp Village"), Wahpeton (Wahpetowan: "Leaf Village") * Land area: 106,153 acres (without boundaries) * Tribal headquarters: Agency Village, SD * Time zone: Central * Traditional language: Dakota * Enrolled members living within former reservation area: 9,894 * Major employers: Dakota Magic Casino, Dakota Sioux Casino, tribal government, Bureau of Indian Affairs 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lake Traverse Indian Reservation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
