The Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Tribal Council saw the need for a Tribal Research Office due to the number of research projects that were ongoing within the Lake Traverse Reservation. Tribal Council passed Resolution SWO-14-055 on June 3, 2014, whereby the Tribal Chairman directed the Director of Tribal Education, Dr. Sherry Johnson, to partner with CRCAIH, to establish Tribal Research Codes, Protocols and Process, flowcharts, forms and establish a Local Research Review Board. The Research Office is currently located in the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Tribal Administration building, Ska Quadrant, Education Suite.
