Talk:Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community

message: I feel that the article Mystic Lake Casino should be merged with Shakopee-Mdewakanton Indian Reservation as their is very little information pertaining to the casino and therefore, I do not feel that it is substantial enough to stand alone.  T. White 09:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: There is a long and tortured history associated with this reservation and I'm surprised it hasn't been included here.  Maybe someone could get on the stick and write it up - even a brief article could reveal a great deal about the history of the reservation itself and the people who populate it.Spottacus 18:06, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Could someone verify that the Mystic Lake name of the casino and hotel is named after the man-made lake?  Here I thought it was a translation of Mde Wakan, which is the name of Mille Lacs Lake in the Dakota language, to which the Mdewakantonwan are named after, and which the Shakopee-Mdewakanton Sioux Community is one of its successors.

message: Just stumbled upon the stub named Sioux Tribe of Minnesota, which apparently refers to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. The name "Sioux Tribe of Minnesota" is not the current name of the tribe, and the piece is a unreferenced stub, so it seems logical to merge into this better-named, better-developed article. -Uyvsdi (talk) 22:43, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
