Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community
The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) (Dakota: Bdemayaṭo Oyate) is a federally recognized, sovereign Indian tribe of Mdewakanton Dakota people, located southwest of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, within parts of the cities of Prior Lake and Shakopee in Scott County, Minnesota. Mdewakanton means "town of Sacred (''wakan'') Lake (''mde'')", referring to what is now called Mille Lacs Lake.
As of the 2010 census, 658 people lived on the reservation or trust land. The tribe owns and operates Mystic Lake Casino Hotel, Little Six Casino, and a number of other enterprises.
Tribal members are direct lineal descendants of ''Mdewakanton Dakota'' people who resided in villages near the banks of the lower Minnesota River. Chief Sakpe spoke for a village that was located near what is today the City of Shakopee. The town of Shakopee was named after Sakpe (Shock-pay ), which means the number six. The SMSC presently owns approximately of land, all of which are located within or near the original reservation established for the Tribe in the 1880s. Tribal lands are located in Prior Lake and Shakopee, Minnesota.

The Business Council is responsible for day-to-day operations and the implementation of General Council decisions. The present Business Council includes Chairman Charlie Vig, Vice-Chairman Keith B.
