SHAKOPEE, Minn. (FOX 9) - Shakopee will now take part in the reintegration of bison into the Minnesota prairie lands. The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) officially announced its plans to reintroduce bison (pte, pronounced puh-TAY) on its tribal lands in Shakopee. After an extensive planning process to successfully bring the bison back to its lands in a safe and sustainable way, the plan is being put into action. In late fall, the SMSC will welcome up to 15 bison from the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate in South Dakota.
