The reservation was established by Executive Orders of December 21, 1882, and March 29, 1884 on an area of 72,000 acres of land. This initial land base proved to be inadequate for the population of the reservation. In order to meet the land needs of the people, additional land was allotted in western North Dakota and Montana, known as the Trenton Indian Service Area.
