The Nine Tribes of South Dakota
South Dakota is home to the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota. There are nine tribes which make up these three dialects, each with their own unique story to tell. They welcome visitors into their communities to educate and to share. Travelers can discover Native American displays in museums, galleries and visitor centers across the state and find locations that offer Native American art for sale. With such keepsakes, visitors can treasure the magic long after they return home. The nine tribes, which represent approximately 62,000 people, are the Cheyenne River Sioux, Crow Creek Sioux, Flandreau-Santee Sioux, Lower Brule Sioux, Oglala Sioux, Rosebud Sioux, SissetonWahpeton Oyate, Standing Rock Sioux and Yankton Sioux.
