Fort Berthold Indian Reservation

The Fort Berthold Reservation is an Indian reservation in North Dakota which is home to the Mandan-Hidatsa-Arikara Nation, a coalition of three North Dakota tribes sharing a single tribal government. The Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara people have separate languages and tribal identities, but joined together in the late 1800's.
