Excerpt from The Spirit Lake Massacre
The massacre of the white settlers in the region of Lake Okoboji and Spirit Lake in 1857 by a band of Indians under the leadership of Tukpa duta has come to be known as The Spirit Lake Massacre, although the tragedy was for the most part enacted on the borders of Lake Oko boji. There seems, however, to be no substantial reason for renaming the episode in the interest of geographical accuracy; and so in this volume the familiar designation of The Spirit Lake Mas sacre has been retained.
