The Sisseton and Wahpeton are part of the Eastern Division of the Dakota. The remains of a minimum of 31 individuals listed in 24 catalog numbers at the National Museum of Natural History that are affiliated with the Sissteon-Wapheton were collected by Army medical personnel in the late nineteenth century.
