to the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which included most of North Dakota. North Dakota was variously organized (both in part or as a whole) as: o Unorganized territory created by the Louisiana Purchase, 1803–1804 o District of Louisiana, 1804–1805 o Territory of Louisiana, 1805–1812 o Territory of Missouri, 1812–1821 o Unorganized territory formerly the northwestern Missouri Territory, 1821–1854 o Territory of Michigan east of Missouri River and White Earth River, 1834–1836 o Territory of Wisconsin east of Missouri River and White Earth River, 1836–1838 o Territory of Iowa east of Missouri River and White Earth River, 1838–1846 o Territory of Minnesota east of Missouri River and White Earth River, 1849–1854 o Territory of Nebraska west of Missouri River or White Earth River, 1854–1861 o Territory of Dakota, 1861-1889 o State of North Dakota, since November 2, 1889 First People Before new arrivals settled the Northern Plains in the 19th Century, the land had been occupied by for many centuries by big game hunting cultures after the retreat of the continental glaciers about 10,000 years ago. Later settlements included both hunting and gathering and farming peoples. When the first white explorers arrived, distinct Indian groups existed in what is now North Dakota. These included the Dakota or Lakota nation (called "Sioux", or enemies by those who feared them), Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara. Groups of Chippewa (or Ojibway) moved into the northern Red River Valley around 1800, and Cree, Blackfeet, and Crow frequented the western buffalo ranges. These peoples represented two different adaptations to the plains environment. Nomadic groups depended primarily upon vast herds of American Bison for the necessities of life. When the horse was brought to the Northern Plains in the 18th Century, the lives of the Dakota, Assiniboine, and Cheyenne changed dramatically. These bands quickly adapted to the horse, and the new mobility enabled them to hunt with ease and consequently to live better than ever before. The horse became a hallmark of Plains cultures, and the images of these mounted Indians bequeathed a romantic image of power and strength that has survived in story, films, and songs. In contrast, the sedentary Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara lived in relatively permanent earth lodges near the Missouri River and supplemented produce from extensive gardens (raising corn, beans, pumpkins, squash and sunflowers) with hunting; their 1 fortified villages became commercial centers that evolved into trading hubs during the fur trade of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Mandan villages played a key role in the native trade networks because of their location and permanency. Their location at the northernmost reaches of the Missouri River placed them near the closest portages to the Hudson Bay basin and thus the fastest access to French and British traders. Additionally, valuable Knife River flint was produced not far from the villages. Pierre Gaultier de La Vérendrye was arguably the first European to explore the area, although rumors persisted of a Viking expedition up the Red River in 1362. He visited the Mandan tribes around 1738 while searching for a water route to the Pacific Ocean, and was astounded by the Mandan’s level of development. Most contact resulted from the Canadian fur trade until Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the American "voyage of discovery" up the Missouri from St. Louis in 1804. Fur Trade The fur trade linked the Northern Plains to a world-wide economic and political system. Intense competition between rival companies resulted in competition for prime locations. With several notable exceptions, contact between the Native peoples and American traders, explorers, and military personnel in the Northern Plains remained peaceful during the early 19th Century. Indians became

The Appendices contain updated and corrected material. Foreword Lawyers use history, mostly legal precedents, to help guide their clients in their lives and businesses. But not all legal history gets collected and published in appellate opinions, or even in news accounts. History is often scattered in ways that are difficult to follow, and facts are frequently obscured by the fogs of memory. As lawyers, though, we should keep track of the people, politics, and developments that shaped our judicial system, particularly in North Dakota our state Supreme Court. Whether good, bad, or indifferent, the current conditions of the Court and of the judicial system it governs certainly affect how we lawyers practice our profession. Consider these glimpses of how our Court and judicial system came to where they are today. I. LEAVING THE 19TH CENTURY 2 A.

  • Red River Valley Water Supply Project Class I Cultural Resources Inventory and Assessment, Eastern North Dakota and Nortwestern Minnesota
    RED RIVER VALLEY WATER SUPPLY PROJECT CLASS I CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT, EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA AND NORTWESTERN MINNESOTA Michael A. Jackson, Dennis L. Toom, and Cynthia Kordecki December 2006 ABSTRACT In 2004-2006, personnel from Anthropology Research, Department of Anthropology, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, conducted a Class I inventory (file search) for the Red River Valley Water Supply Project (RRVWSP). This work was carried out in cooperation with the USDI Bureau of Reclamation, Dakotas Area Office, Bismarck, ND. The file search dealt with hundreds of cultural resource sites across much of eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Archeological sites, architectural sites, site leads, and isolated finds were examined for 14 North Dakota counties and four Minnesota counties. Five different action alternatives were investigated to determine the number and types of previously recorded cultural resources located within each. Each alternative was ranked in terms of its potential to cause impacts to cultural resources, both known and (presently) unknown. Analysis indicated that the Red River Basin Alternative (#3) has the largest potential for cultural resource site impacts. From a least-impact cultural resources perspective, the other four alternatives represent the best, least-impact options for construction of the RRVWSP. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................................................ii

Robinson’s History of North Dakota: How the State’s History Created a Community Jennifer Heth University of North Dakota Abstract In his History of North Dakota, Elwyn B. Robinson described six themes of North Dakota’s history: remoteness, dependence, radicalism, a position of eco- nomic disadvantage, the Too-Much Mistake, and adjustment. Robinson also concluded that these six themes of the state’s history influenced the state’s people and produced the North Dakota character, which included such traits as pride, stubbornness, and radicalism. Robinson’s scholarship did much to illumi- nate the complexities and interconnectedness of the state’s history, geography, and society, and his History of North Dakota is considered to be the cornerstone of North Dakota historical discourse.

  • History of North Dakota Chapter 6
    The Beginnings of Settlements 109 CHAPTER 6 The Beginnings of Settlement THE FIRST PORTION OF NORTH DAKOTA to be settled was the valley of the Red River of the North. Except for the Selkirk colonists and the metis about Pembina, agricultural settlement came with the advance of the American frontier. When restless farmers, seeking cheap land, had taken over southern Minnesota, they turned next to the fertile lands of the Red River Valley. Their coming was stimulated by the opening of a new transportation system. Remoteness was a crucial problem at the Selkirk settlement. Its people, métis and white, wanted easy access to outside markets. At first they were supplied by way of Hudson Bay, but that was costly and the Hudson's Bay Company itself sought a cheaper route. St. Paul, more accessible than the Bay, wanted to make the Selkirk colony its commercial hinterland. When the cheaper route to the Selkirk settlement by way of St. Paul won out over the more costly one by way of the Bay, the valley of the Red River became a trade route. Cart trails, the steamboat line, and then the railroad ran through it. These opened the portion of the valley south of the international boundary and brought in settlers. The process advanced in three steps. The first as the growth of the metis settlement at Pembina and St. Joseph. There the metis had freer access both to St. Paul and to the buffalo herds on the American side of the boundary. The Pembina-St. Joseph settlement was also an American 110 History of North Dakota gateway to the Selkirk colony to the north.

V FOREWORD Less than 150 years ago that part of Southwestern North Dakota with which this book largely deals was described and illustrated by most mapmakers as "The Great American Desert". From that point in time to the first of the present century this area was inhabitated for the most part by nomadic Indians and white trappers, ranchers, and a very few homesteaders, or "squatters". Shortly after the turn of the century an increasing number of people came to this area to pick choice sites of free land for homesteading. After the completion of the railroads into the area, the influx of the people became so great that in a few years homesteaders oc­ cupied homestead lumber shacks or sod houses on almost all quarter sections of land suitable for farming or grazing in the area.

  • North Dakota State Research Guide Family History Sources in the Peace Garden State
    North Dakota State Research Guide Family History Sources in the Peace Garden State North Dakota History The first Europeans in the area arrived the last part of the eighteenth century and were fur traders employed by the Missouri Fur Company. The peopling of the area quickly followed the first exploration with settlements in Selkirk Colony, on the Red and Assiniboine rivers, and the Pembina settlement. Both were established in 1812, but conditions were so difficult that by 1823 Selkirk had become part of the Hudson Bay Company settlement and Pembina had been abandoned. The indigenous tribes of the Dakotas were the Mandans and Arikaras. Eastern tribes that were moved into the area included Hidatsas, Crows, Cheyennes, Creeks, Assiniboines, Yanktonai Dakotas, Teton Dakotas, and Chippewas. The smallpox epidemics in 1782 and 1786 wiped out three-fourths of the Mandans and half of the Hidatsas. The epidemic of 1837, probably introduced by the white fur traders, also had a devastating effect on the native population. Composing the largest settlement at the Red River were the “half-breeds” (called métis) who were the offspring of European fathers (French, Canadian, Scottish, and English) and Native American mothers (Chippewa, Creek, Assiniboine). Many area residents claimed French-Chippewa ancestry. By 1850 more than half of the five to six thousand people living at Fort Garry were métis, with a large percentage being Canadian- born. Settlers began moving into the region in 1849 with the organization of Minnesota Territory and the settlement of Iowa and Minnesota. This immigration brought a number of settlers to southeastern Dakota. Dakota Territory was created by an act of Congress on 2 March 1861 from the area that had previously been Nebraska and Minnesota territories.

  • History of North Dakota CHAPTER 18
    396 History of North Dakota CHAPTER 18 The Thirties: Drought and Depression AFTER THE STOCK-MARKET CRASH of 1929, the economic system of the United States and much of the world began to break down as economic activity declined and mass unemployment appeared. During this crisis, threatening the very fabric of society, the administration of President Herbert Hoover and then that of President Franklin D. Roosevelt took the responsibility for the economy of the nation. Both the Great Depression of the 1930’s and the principle of government responsibility for the economy were of momentous consequence for the United States and the world. They were no less so for North Dakota. The state underwent a traumatic experience in the 1930’s. Because drought added to the difficulties caused by the depression, North Dakota suffered more than much of the rest of the nation. Moreover, in North Dakota drought and depression accentuated long-standing difficulties created by its status as a producer of raw materials which had little or no control over the markets in which it bought and sold. Thousands lost their farms; more than one-third of the population lived on relief; many people left the state. During the crisis, the principle of government responsibility for the economy placed the strength of the United States government, and to some degree the resources of the nation, behind efforts to improve the economic well-being of the people of North Dakota. Massive federal expenditures for relief and farm programs saved North Dakota. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Great Plains Committee pointed out the The Thirties: Drought and Depression 397 adjustments needed for a better life in that vast semiarid region, and his administration began to work toward such adjustments.
