Lake Traverse Indian Reservation

 
     The Lake Traverse Indian Reservation was set up in 1869. Gabriel Renville moved there from Minnesota. The Sisseton and Wahpeton Sioux (Dakota) tribes moved there with him. The reservation is shaped like a triangle. It is in northeastern South Dakota. A small part is also in North Dakota. Today it is often called the Sisseton Indian Reservation. The Sissetons and Wahpetons still live there.
