Everything about The Fort Berthold Indian Reservation totally explained
The
Fort Berthold Indian Reservation is a U.S.
Indian reservation in
North Dakota that's home for the
Three Affiliated Tribes which consists of the
Mandan,
Arikara and
Hidatsa peoples. The reservation was created by the
Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851 with nearly 12 million acres (49,000 km²) in North Dakota,
South Dakota,
Montana and
Wyoming. The current incarnation was created in 1870 by the U.S. government and is located on the
Missouri River in
McKenzie,
Mountrail,
Ward,
McLean,
Mercer and
Dunn counties. The reservation presently consists of 988,000 acres (4,000 km²) of which 457,837 acres (1,853 km²) are owned by
Native Americans, either as allotted land or directly by the tribe.
The population of the reservation was 3776 out of 8400 registered tribe members. Unemployment was at 42%.
In 1951 with the construction of
Garrison Dam approximately a quarter of the reservation was flooded to create
Lake Sakakawea. This flooding required the reservation seat in
New Town to be moved to its present location. The current reservation now hosts a
casino built in 1993 in New Town as well as the
Four Bears Bridge which opened in 2005.
The
2000 census reported a population of 5,915 persons living on a land area of 3,415.923 km² (1,318.895 sq mi). With the creation of Lake Sakakawea there's also a significant amount of water area on the reservation, amounting to 683.182 km² (263.778 sq mi) or one-sixth of the reservation's surface area. Its largest communities are the cities of New Town and
Parshall.
