West elevation. Photograph by John A. Bryan, August 1952. (Reproduction Number: HABS ND,28-ELBO,2-1) When this HABS photograph was taken, this thirteen-sided log structure was one of the last remaining Indian dance lodges in the country. Built in 1921 by members of the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara, the lodge is reminiscent of the ceremonial earthen lodges the tribes once erected along the upper Missouri River. The Hidatsa and the Mandan were long recognized as the farmers, merchants, and bankers of the Northern Plains. Archaeological evidence suggests that with the help of the Arikara, they traded with other Indian tribes from as far away as the present-day American Southwest. Credit: Library of Congress.
