refnum=70000308 [cite web|url=http://www.nr.nps.gov/|title=National Register Information System|date=2006-03-15|work=National Register of Historic Places|publisher=National Park Service] ]The Lower Sioux Indian Reservation is an Indian reservation located along the southern bank of the Minnesota River in Redwood County, Minnesota, just south of the city of Morton. The land initially became part of a reservation after the signing of the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux in 1851, but has now shrunk to a very small size. As of the 2000 census, the site had a population of 335, and a land area of 7.006 km² (2.705 sq mi). The community operates Jackpot Junction Casino Hotel, which began in 1984 as a bingo facility. The Minnesota Historical Society has an interpretive site on the reservation that discusses the Dakota War of 1862.
Jackpot Junction Casino Hotel was the state of Minnesota's first casino. Jackpot Junction features three bars, three restaurants, an amphitheater, and two grand ballrooms (available to hold events in at request). Live music is played every weekend, and the casino is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
County Highway 2 runs through the reservation, connecting it to U.S. Route 71 and Minnesota State Highway 19 to the northwest.
