The Three Affiliated Tribes (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Ankara) just purchased 2100 acres in the ND Badlands to create the Three Affiliated Tribes National Park.
The park sits east of the Teddy Roosevelt National park.
Last September, the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation held a soft opening of the Three Affiliated Tribes National Park in North Dakota. The newly-acquired, 2,100-acre former ranch was once a part of the tribes’ original treaty lands, only to later be lost when the federal government reduced the size of their reservation. But when the land’s owners posted it for sale, the tribes saw it as an opportunity to not only reclaim their history but also share it with others.
