  Yanktonai Indian Tribe History
In 1865 separate treaties of peace were made with the United States by the Upper and Lower Yanktonai, binding them to use their influence and power to prevent hostilities not only against citizens, but also between the Indian tribes in the region occupied or frequented by them.
The primary divisions of the tribe are Upper Yanktonai and Hunkpatina.
The Upper Yanktonai are chiefly under the Standing Rock agency, and while their number is not separately reported, there are probably about 3,500 at this place.

 Yankton Indian Tribe History
Dorsey arranged the Dakota-Assiniboin in 4 dialectic groups: Santee, Yankton, Teton, and Assiniboin, the Yankton dialect being spoken also by the Yanktonai, for the 2 tribes were the outgrowth of one original stem.
The Assiniboin, who were an offshoot from the Yanktonai, are mentioned in the Jesuit Relation for 1640 as a tribe; hence the Yanktonai must have been in existence as a tribe before that time.
Pike (1807) estimated the population of the Yankton and Yanktonai at 4,300.

 Welcome to the 36th Annual United Tribes International Powwow
The Yanktonai, one of the largest branches of the Dakota or Siouan race, were originally a forest people living in Minnesota near Mill Lac and adjacent areas at an early date.
The Yanktonai were found on the headwaters of the Sioux, the James and the Red Rivers.
On the whole, the Yanktonai were peaceable towards the non-Indians and did not participate in the Minnesota Uprising, nor the Indian Wars of 1876.

About the Yankton, Yanktonai, and Assiniboine Sioux: The Siouan language family, including Lakota-Dakota-Nakota speakers, inhabited over 100 million acres in the upper Mississippi Region in the 16th and early 17th centuries.
By the early 19th century, the Yanktonai hunted buffalo between the Red and Missouri Rivers.
Unlike the more settled Yankton and Yanktonai tribes, the Assiniboine were fully nomadic and ranged across the northern Plains by the 18th century.

 Standing Rock History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The Ojibwa called the Lakota and Dakota "Nadouwesou" meaning "adders." This term, shortened and corrupted by French traders, resulted in retention of the last syllable as "Sioux." There are various Sioux divisions and each has important cultural, linguistic, territorial and political distinctions.
The Dakota people of Standing Rock include the Upper Yanktonai in their language called Ihanktonwana which translates "Little End Village" and Lower Yanktonai, called Hunkpatina in their language, "Campers at the Horn" or "End of the Camping Circle".
However, periodically the Yanktonai did engage in trade with these tribes and eventually some bands adopted the earthlodge, bullboat, and horticultural techniques of these people, though buffalo remained their primary food source.

 Arikara Village
The Yanktonai were the "end people," on the edges of the area lived and hunted by the Dakota people; and, the Hunkpati were the most westerly of this group.
That is why Drifting Goose was able to keep his bank hidden in the James River Valley, away from the encroaching white settlers, and one of the last of the great Sioux to capitulate and move to the reservation.
And, they waited excitedly for summer, when the great bison herds migrating from the southern plains to Canada would crisscross the land near the James in smaller groups, heralding the hunting season that was both their sport and subsistence.

 NMNH - Repatriation Office - Reports - Plains - Nakota and Central Dakota
In response to the Devils Lake Yanktonai (now Spirit Lake Nation) and the Yankton Sioux repatriation requests, documentation of human remains was conducted with the use of museum accession records, card catalogs, and other information, as well as computer listings.
Although separate claims were made by the Yanktonai and the Yankton, certain discrepancies in the source documents (for example, the lack of clear distinction between Yanktonai and Yankton human remains) led to the inclusion of all three groups (Assiniboine, Yanktonai, and Yankton) in this report.
The Yankton and Yanktonai remains were repatriated to the Yankton Sioux and Devils Lake Sioux Tribes in 1995.
