Although Sitting Bull returned to the US in 1881 and later died, some of his followers remained and their descendants still live in the area to this day.

Historical documents indicate that the earliest information regarding the Sioux Indians being in the Wood Mountain area was dated 1881. At this time when Sitting Bull finally left Canada, several hundred of his followers stayed in the Moose Jaw area where they worked in town in the winter, and hunted at Wood Mountain in the summer. For years the Canadian Government tried to get these people to return to the United States, however, the Sioux refused and requested a reserve in the Moose Jaw area.
