- Standing Rock Agency
- (See also Grand River Agency)
Located on the west bank of the Missouri River
near Fort Yates, Dakota Territory, this agency succeeded the Grand River Agency
established in 1869. In 1874 the Agency was renamed Standing Rock and served bands of both
Upper and Lower Yanktonai, Cutheads, Hunkpapa, and Blackfeet.
Influential headmen for these groups included:
Yanktonai--Two Bears and Black Eyes; Cut Heads--All Over Black; Blackfeet--The Grass;
Hunkpapa--Sitting Bull, Four Horn, Iron Dog, Slave, Little Knife, Gall, Rain-in-the-Face,
and Red Horn.
Today the Standing Rock Reservation is located in
both North and South Dakota. Its’ 562,366 acre land base is mainly found in Corson
County in South Dakota. A monument to Sitting Bull is located at his grave in the
southeast corner of the reservation. Contemporary scholars Patricia Locke (educator) and
Beatrice Medicine (anthropologist) are from the Standing Rock Reservation.
