   District of South Dakota   
   Civil case - Indian law. District court was correct in finding the 
   Yankton Sioux Reservation was not disestablished; however, 
   the court erred in concluding the 1858 exterior reservation 
   boundaries remain intact and that all nonceded lands remain part of 
   the reservation. Case remanded for further proceedings on the 
   precise limits of the reservation.
