Years: 1738 - 1738
The Hidatsa people who, like the Mandan, speak a Siouan language, have also moved into the Upper Missouri region.
Mandan tradition states that the Hidatsa were a nomadic tribe until their encounter with the Mandan, who taught them to build stationary villages and cultivate agriculture.
The Hidatsa had continued to maintain amicable relations with the Mandan and constructed villages north of them on the Knife River.
Later the Pawnee and Arikara had moved from the Republican River north along the Missouri River.
They are Caddoan language speakers, and the Arikara are often early competitors with the Mandan, although both are horticulturalists.
They build a settlement known as Crow Creek village on a bluff above the Missouri. The modern town of Chamberlain, South Dakota will develop about eleven miles south of here.
