The Mandan: Cultivators of the Great Plains

The Mandan people thrive on the upper Great Plains, cultivating corn, beans, squash, and sunflowers in expansive gardens. As a semi-sedentary tribe, they balance seasonal movement with stability, creating enduring homes. Experts at crafting boats from bison hides, they rely heavily on the bison for essential tools and resources. Women of the tribe play a vital role, building and owning impressive earth lodges along the Missouri River and its tributaries, contributing to their vibrant community and rich culture.
