 Knife
River Indian Villages National Historic Site was established October 26,
1974. The 1,758 acre site preserves historic and archaelogical remnants
of the culture and agricultural lifestyle of the Northern Plains Indians.More
than fifty archaeological sites suggest a possible 8,000 year span of
inhabitation, ending with five centuries of Hidatsa earthlodge village
occupation. The circular depressions at the three village sites are up
to 40 feet in diameter and are a silent testimony to the people that lived
here.
