North and South Dakota. The Dakotas region of the United States, in the Black Hills.
The treaty in 1889 gave the Dakota territory and the Black Hills to the Sioux was broken when the settlers began to cross into the lands given in the treaty and searching for gold in the Black Hills.
The United States recognized the Black Hills as a part of the great sioux Reservation, set aside for exclusive use by the Sioux people. Your welcome. (:
The official colors of the University of Sioux Falls are purple and black, with accent colors of black and silver
After gold was discovered there, the US government wanted to open the land for settlers.

The government broke treaties pure and simple. They allowed settlers to cross the Black Hills and seek gold. The Sioux considered the Black Hills scared and the plains tribes were often attacked by troops. Read Black Elk Speaks about an attack he experienced. In 1861 the Dakota Sioux were rounded up by the military after an attack on a settlers family. They took over 2,000 men, women, and children to Ft. Laramie. The government was going to hang 300 Dakota Sioux men, but Lincoln stopped it. Instead they hung 10 and this is the largest mass hanging in United States history, but no history book has it in it. Over and over treaties were broken, lands taken, and the Native Americans moved off ancestral lands.
The Sioux Treaty of 1868.
No, but the Black Hills of South Dakota are sacred to the Sioux.
The Black Hills and the city of Sioux Falls are both located in the US state of South Dakota.
