Prairie Island Indian Community

Prairie Island Indian Community The Prairie Island Indian Community is a Sovereign Nation of Dakota people in southeastern Minnesota.

As the largest employer in Goodhue County, the Tribe plays an important role in the economic strength and success of the region. The Mdewakanton, “those who were born of the waters,” have lived on Prairie Island for countless generations. Located in Southeastern Minnesota along the wooded shores of the Mississippi and Vermillion Rivers, Prairie Island is a spiritual place for our people. Prairie I

sland owns and operates Treasure Island Resort & Casino. We call gaming the new buffalo because it has helped restore our self-sufficiency. It is responsible for improving life on the reservation, strengthening our Tribal Government, and helping preserve our culture. Indian Gaming is what gives our Tribal Government the tools we need to operate our community and provide for our people. But it also has given us a new and welcomed responsibility as an employer to thousands of Minnesotans. We are proud to be Goodhue County’s largest employer and an important contributor to Minnesota’s economy.

Thank you to the St. Paul Saints for having us!

Imnížaská, the Dakota word for “white rocks,” a reference to the white sandstone cliffs in the area where St Paul resides.

The jersey also features a map of St. Paul and surrounding Dakota territory before settlement, with places of reference written in Dakota.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of hosting the Project Hero Great Lakes Challenge riders as they took part in Day 1 of their 5-day ride from St. Paul to Madison, WI. The Great Lakes Challenge features veterans, first responders, and more riding together over multiple days in support of We Are Project Hero.
Tribal Council and PIPD staff spent time during the pit stop visiting with the riders and helping them refuel before they continued on their journey. We wish the ride and its participants safe travels for the rest of the week!
