==Reservations and reserves==
[[File:Sioux01.png|thumb|left|Location of Sioux tribes prior to 1770 (dark green) and their current reservations (orange) in the US]]

In the late 19th century, railroads wanted to build tracks through Indian lands. The railroad companies hired hunters to exterminate the bison herds, the Plains Indians' primary food supply. The Dakota and Lakota were forced to accept US-defined reservations in exchange for the rest of their lands and farming and ranching of domestic cattle, as opposed to a nomadic, hunting economy. During the first years of the [[Indian reservation#Rise of Indian removal policy|Reservation Era]], the Sioux people depended upon annual federal payments guaranteed by treaty for survival.

In Minnesota, the treaties of [[Treaty of Traverse des Sioux|Traverse des Sioux]] and [[Treaty of Mendota|Mendota]] in 1851 left the Dakota with a reservation {{convert|20|mi}} wide on each side of the Minnesota River.

Today, half of all enrolled Sioux in the United States live off-[[Indian reservation|reservation]]. Enrolled members in any of the Sioux tribes in the United States are required to have ancestry that is at least [[Blood quantum laws|1/4 degree]] Sioux (the equivalent to one grandparent).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tribalresourcecenter.org/ccfolder/sisseton_wahpeton_codeoflaw2.htm |title=Enrollment Ordinance |publisher=tribalresourcecenter.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928084031/http://www.tribalresourcecenter.org/ccfolder/sisseton_wahpeton_codeoflaw2.htm |archive-date=2007-09-28 }}</ref>

In Canada, the Canadian government recognizes the tribal community as [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]]. The land holdings of these First Nations are called [[Indian reserve]]s.
