The native people didnt want the settlers
crossing their land. The settlers were scaring
away the animals.
The setter talked to the native about the
settlers going across their land.
Native people said U.S. could build roads across
their land if white settlers didnt settle there.
Neither side did what they were supposed to do!
White people and native people had many conflicts
because of this.

Council representatives report to their
community. They do this in district councils.
These are like the tribal council but smaller.
They meet each month. They talk about things at
the local level. Then their representatives take
their ideas to the tribal council.
South Dakota tribes also have the National Sioux
Council. It is made up of delegates from each
tribe in South Dakota. They meet each year. They
talk about matters of importance to all the
tribes.
