Originally the people of this Tribe called Minnesota home but relocated to Nebraska in the mid 1800’s due to disease and starvation in Minnesota. They are part of a larger group known as the Dakota Nation, which is also composed of the Mdewakantonwan, Wahpeton, Sissetons, and the Wapekute tribes. The Santee Tribe is a woodlands tribe, living in semi-permanent villages and engaging in some farming.
