This is from the Flandreau History page. It is from an Act of Congress 1875.
Act of Congress - 1875
The Santee initially settled in Flandreau in 1869 and were the first successful settlers, as other settlements did not flourish. The Act of Congress of 1875 extended the Homestead Act of 1862 to Indians provided they give up their tribal affiliation. In 1878 there were 94 homesteads owned by the Santee. It was the only settlement of this kind in the country.

STORIES OF EARLY INDIAN SETTLERS
NANCY FARIBAULT HUGGINS: Nancy Faribault Huggins was born at Mendota, MN, in 1836 and was nearly 91 years of age when she passed away (1927). Some of her ancestors were Tribal Chiefs - Walking Wind, Alightning Goose, Red Iron and Walking Shooting Iron. Her maiden name was McClure. Her mother was a Full-Blood. When Nancy was about 15 years old she married David Faribault. She was present when the 1852 Treaty was signed in Minnesota Territory. When Nancy was 35 years old, David Faribault died. She later married Charles Huggins, a trader from North Dakota. Her daughter married Rev. John Eastman, a Presbyterian Santee Missionary/Minister. Nancy was known for her great beauty and many accomplishments.
CHIEF LITTLE CROW: In 1862 the Santee were involved in the Minnesota Uprising. The area involved was between the present day communities of Granite Falls and New Ulm, MN, from Aug. 17 - Dec. 26, 1862. The leader at the time was Chief Little Crow. In order to avoid capture Taoyateduta (Little Crow) and his son Wowinapa fled to Canada. A year later when returning to Minnesota, Little Crow was shot and killed near Hutchinson, Mn. on July 3, 1863, by Nathan Lampson and his son, Chauncy. Mr. Lampson was paid a bounty of $500.00 and his son received $75.00 for Little Crow's scalp. Wowinapa was able to escape, but was later captured near Devils Lake and was tried for his participation in the Uprising. He was sentenced to be hanged, but he was later released. He was sent to Rev. John P. Williamson for schooling and later his name was changed to Thomas Wakeman. He became involved in the Presbyterian Church and became known as the founder of the YMCA among the Santee. In 1874 he married Judith Minnetonka. One of their children was Ruth Wakeman. In 1898, Ruth Wakeman married Albert Heminger, who later became Rev. Albert B. Heminger. Little Crow's body was dumped in the garbage dump outside of Hutchinson. A military officer recovered the body and removed the head. His remains were on display in the Minnesota Historical Society until 1903. After that time, his body was in storage in the basement of the museum. His remains were returned to Jess Wakeman (a grandson) in 1971.
MARY GRAHAM: Mary Graham was one of the earliest settlers of Flandreau and Moody County. The original Santee settlers arrived in 1869. Mary and her family arrived in 1875. Her land was located one mile south and one mile west of Flandreau. That homestead still stands. She was a Full-blood Santee.
JOSEPH & SARAH GRAHAM: Joseph and Sarah Graham arrived in 1869. They proved up their land claim and received their land patent in 1871. Joseph was a minister. During April of 1871 he had traveled away from the community in order to go hunting. On his return, he was caught in a blizzard and died. He was the first person buried in the Flandreau Indian Cemetery. Sarah would continue on the homestead. She even went through the process of having the land put into her name, after Joseph's death.
(Copies of the homestead application and the land patent at the Moody County Historical Society Museum, with Joseph's signature on the application).

tamara,
the only thing that you can do is go to the moody county courthouse and look at the original land records. i think that that is still allowed legally. you might be able to look at them online too. however there were really no allotments, just homestead lands. it was done differently than the reservations since the indian people chose to leave the reservation.

somebody really did some beautiful work with the history there didnt they? I also understand some wonderful people contributed a great deal of their own collected information. I read that in one of the Indian newspapers and then later had the opportunity to meet the couple in Pierre.
