The former earth-lodge settlement of the Hidatsa, Mandan, and Arikara Indians, known both as Like-A-Fishhook Village and as Fort Berthold Indian Village, was one of the important historic sites of the upper Missouri Valley. For more than 40 years this community was the chief remaining example of a distinctive native culture. (Smith, 1972)
