The Dakota or Santee Sioux were the most easterly group of Sioux tribes.

They were made up of the Mdewakanton (Spirit Lake Dwellers), Wahpekute (Shooters Among Leaves), Wahpeton (Dwellers among Leaves) and Sisseton (Fish Offal Dwellers) tribes . Each tribe consisted of seven bands, a sacred number for all Sioux peoples, giving 4 tribes and a total of 28 bands.
