Migrations of [[Ojibwe]] from the east in the 17th and 18th centuries, with muskets supplied by the French and British, pushed the Dakota further into Minnesota and west and southward. The US gave the name ''Dakota Territory'' to the northern expanse west of the [[Mississippi River]] and up to its headwaters.<ref name="riggs"/> Today, the Santee live on reservations, reserves, and communities in Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Canada. However, after the Dakota war of 1862 many Santee were sent to [[Crow Creek Indian Reservation]] and in 1864 some from the Crow Creek Reservation were sent to the [[Santee Sioux Reservation]].
