National Historic Landmark -Big Hidatsa Village Site

Occupied from about 1740 to 1850, this is the largest of three Hidatsa communities near the mouth of the Knife River, showing the effects of nearly a century of fur trade interaction with whites.

Believed to contain the best-defined earth lodge depressions of any major Native American site in the Great Plains.
