North Dakota’s American Indian Heritage

North Dakota is known for its American Indian heritage and culture. Descendants of the tribes that greeted Lewis and Clark 200 years ago greet visitors to present-day North Dakota with the same hospitality.

These tribes have museums housing ancient artifacts of their heritage and some have casinos. The tribes interpret their own history with their own words.

North Dakota has five large American Indian reservations:

• Standing Rock Sioux reservation is home to the original burial site of Sitting Bull.

• Fort Berthold offers visitors a museum, fantastic fishing and outdoor recreation opportunities.

• Just south of Devils Lake, Spirit Lake Sioux Reservation offers visitors fishing on Devils Lake and one of the most complete historic Old West forts in the country – Fort Totten.

• Turtle Mountain is home to the Chippewa band. Belcourt is headquarters and hosts a tribal museum.

• Social activities such as powwows, rodeos and races are celebrated in the summer months at the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux Tribe of the Lake Traverse.
