The Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara (MHA) Nation, located in what is now North Dakota, had key interactions with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In 1804, the expedition reached the Mandan villages, where they stayed for the winter of 1804-1805. The Mandan, along with the Hidatsa and Arikara tribes, played a crucial role in helping the expedition by providing food, shelter, and guides.
On the shores of Lake Sakakawea, 4 Bears Casino & Lodge reflects the vibrant culture of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, collectively known as the Three Affiliated Tribes. This North Dakota attraction weaves together tradition, relaxation and the breathtaking beauty of the region. 4 Bears stands as a gateway to the natural wonders of the region. The resort’s location near Lake Sakakawea opens up opportunities for outdoor activities, from hiking along scenic trails to water-based adventures on the lake. Named after the famed Lemhi Shoshone woman who, in her teens, helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition, this area reminds us of this country’s history and the Native lands the Expedition crossed
through.
