The Native Mob Bloodz is one of the largest and most violent Native American gangs in the U.S. and is notoriously active in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Colorado, and South Dakota.[4] The gang was created in the 1990s in Minneapolis, Minnesota and in 2013 was created in South Dakota to control drug turf, and has since established itself in prisons, and was estimated (2015) to have around 1,500 Soldierz, in (2024) the total number of Soldierz increases to 10,000 members

Members routinely engage in drug trafficking, assault, robbery, and murder. According to reports they are also located in Mandan, North Dakota.
