The people of the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe are the Húŋkpati Oyáte (end of the camp circle) band, mostly descendants of the Mdewakanton Dakota Tribe of south and central present-day Minnesota. They were expelled from Minnesota after all reservations in that state were abolished in December 1862 following the Dakota War.
