Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community

The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) is a federally recognized Indian tribe formally organized under federal reservation status in 1969. A sovereign government with tribal lands located in Prior Lake and Shakopee, Minnesota, SMSC utilizes its financial resources from gaming and non-gaming enterprises to pay for the infrastructure of the Tribe. For the Shakopee Mdewakanton people of today, culture and environment are intimately intertwined. We strive to respect and care for the environment while retaining our cultural connection with the earth. The SMSC has also donated more than $290 million to organizations and causes since 1992, funds its own infrastructure, and voluntarily contributes to regional infrastructure such as roads, water and sewer systems, and emergency services.
