Pike Island (Dakota: Wita Tanka) is an island at the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers in the southwestern-most part of Saint Paul in the U.S. state of Minnesota. The island is managed as part of Fort Snelling State Park and is within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. For centuries, Dakota people have considered the area of the island to be a sacred place where they moved with the seasons to find food and resources. The island is named after Zebulon Pike, who negotiated the United States government purchase of the area from Mdewakanton Sioux Indians in 1805.

  • Isla Pike (en inglés: Pike Island)​​ es una isla en la confluencia del río Misisipí y del río Minnesota en la parte suroeste de St. Paul en el área metropolitana de las Ciudades Gemelas de Minnesota. Se trata de una porción de los 100.000 acres (400 km²) de tierra comprada a los indios sioux por Zebulon Pike en septiembre de 1805, que más tarde se convertiría en Fort Snelling, Minneapolis, y San Pablo. El gobierno de EE.UU. quería construir una fortaleza para proteger los intereses estadounidenses en el comercio de pieles en la región, y Pike negoció el tratado. Pike está en la confluencia de los ríos Minnesota y Mississippi, por debajo del acantilado donde se encuentra Fort Snelling. La isla y el fuerte son ahora parte del Parque Estadal Fort Snelling. (es)
