"Mdewakantonwan (currently pronounced Bdew\u00E1khathu\u014Bwa\u014B, also M'DAY-wah-kahn-tahn) are one of the sub-tribes of the Isanti (Santee) Dakota (Sioux). Their historic home is Mille Lacs Lake in central Minnesota, which in the Dakota language was called Mde wakan (mystic/spiritual lake). Together with the Wahpekute (Wa\u021Fp\u00E9khute - \u201CShooters Among the Trees\u201D), they form the so-called Upper Council of the Dakota or Santee Sioux (Is\u00E1\u014By\u00E1thi - \u201CKnife Makers\u201D)."@en .
