Bdewekhantunwan

The Bdewekhantunwan were an Eastern Dakota people of the Sioux alliance, whose home was Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota. In 1687 the explorer Daniel Greysolon du Lhut recorded a visit to their village on the lake's southwestern shore. In 1837 they agreed to cede their lands east of the Mississippi to the United States in exchange for promised payments.
