Tribal members are direct lineal descendants of Mdewakanton Dakota people who resided in villages near the banks of the lower Minnesota River.

The second Sakpe signed several treaties with the US during the 19th century. The City of Shakopee later developed near this site and was named for these prominent leaders.
