Old maps of the Northwest apply the name of Dakota to the James River. The junction of the
Can Sa Sa (James River) and the Pipestem, where Jamestown is now located, was a favorite place for getting together among the Indians before the coming of the whites.

In 1839 Fremont named this place Bois D' Are. The junction of the two streams was a landmark well known to the Indians and French trappers. The first inhabitants of this park were the Yanktonaise Sioux who came here after 1800 and lived several generations in the Klaus Park Region, which they called "Itazidakak" meaning "Cutting the Bow"

Some of the names of their chiefs were "Santomi Sapa " (Black All Over), "Hogan Luta, Sr." (Red Fish, Sr.), and "Tatonka Witko" (Fool Bull). They were friendly Indians, But were driven west by General Sibley's Army in 1863.
