Upper Sioux Indian Reservation
- Upper Sioux Indian Reservation
The Upper Sioux Indian Reservation is located in Minnesota Falls Township along the Minnesota River in eastern Yellow Medicine County, Minnesota five miles (8 km) south of Granite Falls. It was created in 1938 when 746 acres (3 km²) of land were returned to the tribe. Most of the land along the river valley had been taken from the Dakota following the Dakota War of 1862. As of the 2000 census, the reservation recorded a resident population of 57 persons. Its land area is currently 5.139 km² (1.984 sq mi, or 1,270 acres).
The tribe operates the Prairie's Edge Casino Resort to help raise funds. The resort replaced the Firefly Creek Casino which is now a bingo hall.
Every year the Upper Sioux community celebrates with the Pejhutazizi Oyate Traditional Wacipi, a pow-wow.
