Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating history of Like-a-Fishhook Village, a unique settlement on the upper Missouri River that was home to the Hidatsa, Mandan, and Arikara tribes. The author meticulously reconstructs the village's story, from its founding in 1845 to its eventual submersion beneath the waters of the Garrison Reservoir. The narrative traces the intertwined fates of these three tribes as they navigated a rapidly changing world. The arrival of European traders and the devastating impact of diseases like smallpox forced them to adapt and forge new alliances. The establishment of Fort Berthold, a trading post within the village, further complicated their relationship with the encroaching white culture. Through meticulous archaeological research and the analysis of historical documents, the author paints a vivid picture of life in Like-a-Fishhook Village. The book explores the complex dynamics between Native Americans and white settlers, the evolution of trade and commerce on the frontier, and the devastating consequences of cultural assimilation. Ultimately, this book stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Hidatsa, Mandan, and Arikara people, offering profound insights into a pivotal era of Native American history and the enduring legacy of cultural exchange and conflict on the American frontier.
