If they renounced their tribalism and our ancestors were removed from Minnesota can we amend our name to Medewakanton instead of Santee? I don't understand why our tribal leader or president don't take this up to Washington to have this done or at least try any way.
Renouncing?
Loyalist given the land if they give up their tribal status?
Medewakanton named changed to Santee Sioux and removed...since our ancestors were removed how can we not be entitled to have that name?
Help on this please.

We are descendants of the Mdewakanton. Santee came in after our relatives were forcibly moved to Santee, Nebraska.
That is my quick answer. I think it is right on point.
Grandfather Mazaadidi said, "I am Mdewakanton."

"Crooks" is a play on words, for example our Cousin Stanley Crooks.

I don't know who the crooks are on topic...how ever, we are pushed away. From my dealings with some of them...they prefer to know your name is certifiable and that is that...any comments on that?
