Editing Lakota people (section)

===Reservation era===
Today, the Lakota are found mostly in the five reservations of western South Dakota:

* [[Pine Ridge Indian Reservation]], home of the Oglála, the most numerous of the Lakota bands.
* [[Rosebud Indian Reservation]], home of the Upper Sičhánǧu or Brulé. 
* [[Lower Brule Indian Reservation]], home of the Lower Sičhaŋǧu. 
* [[Cheyenne River Indian Reservation]], home of several other of the seven Lakota bands, including the Mnikȟówožu, Itázipčho, Sihásapa, and Oóhenumpa. 
* [[Standing Rock Indian Reservation]], home of the Húŋkpapȟa and to people from many other bands.

Lakota also live on the [[Fort Peck Indian Reservation]] in northeastern [[Montana]], the [[Fort Berthold Indian Reservation]] of northwestern North Dakota, and several small reserves in [[Saskatchewan]] and [[Manitoba]]. During the Minnesota and Black Hills wars, their ancestors fled for refuge to "Grandmother's [i.e. Queen Victoria's] Land" (Canada).

Large numbers of Lakota live in [[Rapid City, South Dakota|Rapid City]] and other towns in the Black Hills, and in metro [[Denver, Colorado|Denver]]. Lakota elders joined the [[Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization]] (UNPO) to seek protection and recognition for their cultural and land rights.
