  • COMMUNITY PROSECUTION STRATEGY the District of South Dakota
    COMMUNITY PROSECUTION STRATEGY The District of South Dakota The District of South Dakota has been an "Indian country district" since territorial days. What is now South Dakota was, and is, home to several different tribes that are commonly and collectively referred to as the "Sioux." In the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty, all of the land west of the Missouri River, in what is now South Dakota, was designated as the "Great Sioux Reservation." In 1889, Dakota Territory was divided into the separate states of North and South Dakota. At the same time, the remaining land of the Great Sioux Reservation was divided into smaller, separate reservations for various Sioux tribes. These reservations, along with those created east of the Missouri River, exist today as nine distinct Indian reservations within the District of South Dakota. South Dakota's enabling legislation and state constitution disclaimed state court criminal jurisdiction for cases arising in Indian country. An effort by the state legislature to assert Indian country jurisdiction in 1961 was unsuccessful, and South Dakota remains a non-Public Law 280 State. The volume of criminal cases arising in Indian country is relatively high. Between 50-60 percent of the criminal caseload for the United States Attorney’s Office (“USAO”) is comprised of Indian country offenses. The District is rural in nature. It encompasses the entire state of South Dakota, which has a total of 77,116 square miles, of which over 18 percent are reservation or trust lands. Census data puts the state population at 812,383, and a conservative estimate places the number of Native American residents at 68,976 (8.57 percent).
