Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site

Knife River Indian Villages preserves 4,500 years of Northern Plains history where Hidatsa and Mandan people built thriving trade centers along the Missouri River. This isn’t a footnote—it’s where Sacagawea called home before the Lewis and Clark expedition. Earth lodges, ancient gardens, and stories of resilience that shaped the American story. Rep a place where Indigenous history isn’t erased, it’s honored. These lands remember what textbooks forgot.
