 The Yankton Sioux lived in the midwestern United States. A religious people, they strove for spiritual wisdom and it was their custom to share resources with other tribes. When the Europeans arrived, they preserved peace and helped them survive. As more white people settled on Indian land, the Yankton Sioux arranged the Treaty of Washington, in which they gave up land in exchange for a reservation and money. The government divided up and sold off their land, splintering the tribe. Today, the traditions and values are coming back as young people who grew up outside of the reservation are rediscovering their heritage. Part of the multivolume Indians of North America Video Collection, each featuring the compelling history and culture of a particular Native American tribe. |
