LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION 200 YEARS AGO TODAY 10/30/1804
Clark explores seven miles up the Knife River to the Hidatsa villages searching for a suitable site to make winter camp. He finds little timber in the area. The Corps decides to go back downstream to build their fort below the first Mandan village, Mitutanka. The men of the Corps hold a dance, basically for the Indians entertainment.

LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION 200 YEARS AGO TODAY 10/29/1804
Day 168 of the Corps of Discovery. The Corps put up an awning and enclosed the council site with sails to keep out the wind. After the captains' speech, all smoke the sacred pipe including four Mandans, three Hidatsas, and the visiting Arikara. A prarie wildfire passes by so quickly that it kills a Mandan man and woman.

LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION 200 YEARS AGO TODAY 10/28/1804
Strong winds keeps the chiefs away from the outdoor council that the captains had planned. Instead, Lewis and Clark talk with a chief from Raptare named Black Cat about the chiefs of the neighboring villages, the Mandan Mitutanka and the three Hidatsa villages up the Knife River.

LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION 200 YEARS AGO TODAY 10/27/1804
The boats move us to Mitutanka, where Clarks visits while Lewis and the interpreters walk upstream to the second Mandan village, Ruptare. Clarks meets Rene Jusseaume, who married into the Mandans years ago, and states he spied on the British for Clark's brother during the Revolutionary War. The captains find him untrustworthy, and a poor interpreter. The boats move up to Raptare and set up camp with the U.S. flag flying.

LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION 200 YEARS AGO TODAY 10/26/1804
At the mouth of Knife River, the Corps reaches Mitutanka, the first of two Mandan villages. After the unpleasantness with the Teton Sioux, the captains have decided one will remain with the boats. Lewis walks to the village with interpreters. Clark, his neck bad again, stays at the river but welcomes and smokes with several of the chiefs. They enjoy watching a man grind corn with a steel mill and are perplexed by York.

LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION 200 YEARS AGO TODAY 10/25/1804
"Several Mandan hunting parties heading north on land invite the Corps to stop and visit. Originally this land was home to the Mandans but the Arikaras moved in and chased the Mandans out in 1799. Word comes that some Sioux have stolen horses from the Hidatsas. The Assinbiones killed a French trader who once lived with the Mandans.
