The tribe has a reservation in northeastern Nebraska and western Iowa.
The Winnebago Indian Reservation lies primarily in the northern part of Thurston and a small part of Dixon counties in Nebraska, with an additional portion in Woodbury County, Iowa.
A small plot of off-reservation land of 116.75 acres (0.4725 km²) is in southern Craig Township in Burt County, Nebraska.
The total land area is 457.857 km² (176.78 sq mi).

They also call themselves Hochungra – "People of the Parent Speech", which resembles the Ho-Chunk of the Nebraska branch of the Winnebago.

The Iowa portion was originally west of the Missouri River and within Nebraska boundaries.
But, after the United States Army Corps of Engineers changed the course of the river, some of the reservation land was redefined as falling within the boundaries of Iowa.
The tribe successfully argued that the land belonged to them under the terms of the deed prior to diversion of the river.
This land has a postal address of Sloan, Iowa, as rural addresses are normally covered by the nearest post office.

The 2000 census reported a population of 2,588 persons living on these lands.
The largest community is the village of Winnebago, with other communities in Emerson and Thurston, Nebraska.
In 2006 their enrolled population was estimated at 4,000.

The federally recognized Omaha also have a reservation in Thurston County.
Together, the Native American tribes occupy the entire land area of Thurston County.
