Smallpox epidemics devistated the tribe in the 1780's and in 1837.


=== Tribal Headquarters  ===
In 1845 the tribe established Like-A-Fishhook Village near Fort Berthold trading post.


'''Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, Three Affiliated Tribes'''<br>404 Frontage Road <br>New Town, ND 58763<br>Phone: 701-627-4781<br>[https://www.mhanation.com/ Website]
Fort Berthold Agency&nbsp; was established in 1870, and was assigned to serve the Hidatsa, Mandan and Arikara tribes.&nbsp;


=== History  ===
The tribe was alloted land in 1888 and Lide-A-Fishook Village was&nbsp; abandoned


The Hidatsa originally lived the Devil's Lake area of North Dakota. As they migrated west, the Hidatsa met the [[Mandan Indians|Mandan]] at the mouth of the Heart River. The two groups formed an friendly alliance, and settled along the rivers of the area.
The Hidatsa, Mandan and Arikara formed the Three Affiliated Tribes in 1934


The first recorded contact with non-Native American occurred in 1804 when Lewis and Clark found the Hidatsa living in three villages at the mouth of the Knife River. Two villages of the [[Mandan Indians|Mandans]] were located a few miles down the Missouri River.  
In 1876, their population was estimated to be about 500. By 1910 that number had increased to 547, and by 1980, their population was 1,548.  


Two artists of the American west visited the Hidatsa and Mandan and painted scenes of their life -- George Catlin in 1832, and Karl Bodmer, a Swiss painter accompanying German explorer Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied from 1832 to 1834.
==== Brief Timeline  ====
 
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 Indians|Arikara]] joined them there in 1862.
 
The Hidatsa signed two treaties with the United States government -- the 1851 treaty at Laramie (Wyoming), which they signed as [[Gros Ventre Indians|Gros Ventres]], and the unratified 1866 Treaty of Fort Berthold (see links to copies of the treaties under Records below)<ref>Frederick Webb Hodge. [http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/tribes/ ''Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico'']. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution, 1906.</ref>.


A reservation for the Mandan, Hidatsa, and [[Arikara Indians|Arikara ]]Tribes was set apart on 12 April 1870 by Executive Order<ref>Frederick Webb Hodge. [http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/tribes/ ''Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico'']. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution, 1906.</ref>. 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.

Under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Tribes merged and incorporated under their constitution and bylaws as the [[Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota|Three Affiliated Tribes]] of the Fort Berthold Reservation<ref>[http://lib.fbcc.bia.edu/FortBerthold/TATbylaws.asp By-Laws] of the Three Affiliated Tribes.</ref>.

==== Treaties  ====
 
During the latter part of the 18th Century and most of the 19th Century, treaties were negotiated between the federal government and individual Indian tribes. The treaties provide helpful information about the history of the tribe, but usually only include the names of those persons who signed the treaty. See [[American Indian Treaties with the United States]] for more more information about treaties.
 
Treaties to which the Hidatsa Indians were a part were:

==== Tribal Office Records ====
== References ==
 
The Tribal Office is responsible for enrollment records, tribal police records, tribal court records, employment records and many others. They are an entirely different set of records from those kept by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Most of them remain in the Tribal Office. For details, contact that office at the address for the Tribal Headquarters listed above.

The Hidatsa, Mandan and Arikara formed the Three Affiliated Tribes in 1934

In 1876, their population was estimated to be about 500. By 1910 that number had increased to 547, and by 1980, their population was 1,548.
