Here, for countless generations, Dakota people followed the traditional ways of their ancestors.



Living close to the land, they learned how to read nature's signs and developed an intimate understanding of the habitats and growth cycles of plants and animals. The Dakota word fot this is Ecakensdonyapi (Ee-cha-kay-doa-stod-yah-pi) — knowing naturally.



Swan Lake



This area was the traditional homeland of two bands of the eastern Dakota, the Sisseton and Wahpeton. Families from the two bands often blended, and there was a good deal of interchange between the villages. The largest Sisseton population lived on islands in Swan Lake, about 10 miles west of this spot. There they were safe from enemy attack and surrounded by a rich variety of food sources.
