Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation

The band controls a reserve at Standing Buffalo 78.

His people were given permission to farm north of the Qu'Appelle Lakes, and their reserve was created in 1881.

Despite only being allotted 80 acres per family, rather than the typical 640, the band became prosperous.

In 1907, the community's agricultural prosperity was wiped out by the revocation of government-owned hay land.

The band's demands for an increase in acreage were not heard until 1956.
