About Upper Sioux Agency State Park [ 134 ]
Upper Sioux Agency (or Yellow Medicine Agency), was a federal administrative center in Minnesota established in response to treaties with the Dakota people in what became Yellow Medicine County. Located on the Minnesota River south of Granite Falls, Minnesota, the government-run campus of employee housing, warehouses and a manual labor school was destroyed in the Dakota War of 1862. The grave of Chief Walking Iron Mazomani, a leader of the Wahpetonwan (Dwellers in the Leaves) Dakota tribes, who was killed during the 1862 Dakota War's Battle of Wood Lake, is here.
