Fact Brief: Can South Dakota residents hunt tribal lands?

(South Dakota News Watch) Though rules differ, several South Dakota reservations allow hunting on tribal lands. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, located in north-central South Dakota and parts of North Dakota, allows hunting on its 1.6 million acres. The Oglala Sioux Tribe, which includes Pine Ridge in southwestern South Dakota, requires non-members to have a guide who is certified with the reservation. The Yankton Sioux Tribe requires a guide for non-Indians. The South Dakota Department of Tribal Relations says hunters should reach out to each individual tribe to learn about their rules and regulations and whether they require guides.
