 A smallpox epidemic in 1837-1838 reduced the Hidatsa population to about 500 people. The remaining Mandan and Hidatsa united, and moved farther up the Missouri in 1845. They eventually settled at "Like-a-fishhook" bend near Fort Berthold. The Arikara joined them there in 1862.
-The Fort Berthold Agency was established in 1870 and was assigned to serve the Hidatsa, Mandan and Arikara tribes.
+The Hidatsa signed two treaties with the United States government -- the 1851 treaty at Laramie (Wyoming), which they signed as Grosventres, and the unratified 1866 Treaty of Fort Berthold (see links to copies of the treaties under Records below)<ref>Frederick Webb Hodge.

The reservation was located principally in present-day North Dakota, with a small portion in Montana. The Fort Berthold Reservation was later reduced to its present size.
 The tribe was allotted land in 1888 and Like-A-Fishhook Village was abandoned.
-The Hidatsa, Mandan and Arikara formed the Three Affiliated Tribes in 1934 under the Indian Reorganization Act.
