Lower Brule Sioux Tribe

Immerse yourself in the vast, sweeping prairies of the Great Plains of South Dakota, the land of the buffalo. This is home to the Kul Wicasa Oyate (Lower Brule Sioux Tribe), a band of the Lakota Nation. The Lower Brule Sioux warmly welcome visitors and are pleased to offer a wide range of unforgettable experiences in their homeland along Mni Sose, the Missouri River.

The highway to and across the reservation is the Native American Scenic Byway located on historic Highway 1806 part of the National Scenic Byways program that recognizes, preserves and protects roads with significant cultural, historic, natural, recreational and scenic qualities. Following the course of the Missouri River, the route winds through lush valleys and broad river terraces, now and then rising to the river bluffs, where it offers spectacular views of valley and of the immense grasslands that extend west to the Black Hills.

Be sure to experience the Buffalo Interpretive Center
The Buffalo Interpretive Center, on one of the Tribe's buffalo pastures along the Byway just seven miles southeast of Ft. Pierre, offers visitors a glimpse into the life and traditions of the Lakota people, past and present. It also has a gift shop with craft items made by local artisans. The Visitor Information Center in the town of Lower Brule provides current information on attractions, activities and summer programs.
