Hidatsa Village Marker
Photographer: Barry Swackhamer
Taken: August 28, 2020
Caption: Hidatsa Village Marker
Additional Description: Caption: (bottom center) Hidatsa people occupied the site from about 1600 to 1845. During the smallpox epidemic of 1837, half of the village population died. Some surviving Mandans from nearby villages joined Hidatsas here, then all moved north in 1845 to Like-a-Fishhook Village, now submerged beneath Lake Sakakawea. Present-day descendants live in central North Dakota of the Fort Berthold Reservation.
