The Nebraska reservation is 25 by 8 miles, with homes ranging from bark huts to modern dwellings. The people are described as bright, sizable in stature, transitioning toward modernization while retaining some traditional life. government efforts to allot land and promote farming are noted as aiding some to stand on their feet, though others remain indifferent. The Wisconsin and Nebraska branches total roughly 1400 to 1500 individuals, with about 1200 in Nebraska and the rest in Wisconsin.
