The TAT refer to themselves as the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation but continue to use the name “Three Affiliated Tribes.” Of the total 10,000 enrolled members 4,000 reside on the reservation. The Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara people reside on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, encompassing approximately one million acres of land, of which approximately half is owned by the tribe and its members (the remainder is primarily owned by non-Indians with the U.S. Government owning a small share). In the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, the original size of the MHA territory agreed to by the Three Affiliated Tribes and representatives of the United States government included 12.5 million acres.

Under Section 6 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (Public Law 78-534), the Secretary of the Army is authorized to make agreements with states, municipalities, private concerns, or individuals for surplus water that may be available at any reservoir under the control of the Department. Terms of the agreements are normally for five (5) years, with an option for a five (5) year extension, subject to recalculation of reimbursement after the initial five (5) year period. This proposed action will allow the Omaha District to enter into surplus water agreements with interested water purveyors and to issue easements for up to the total amount of surplus water to meet regional water needs.

The Oahe Dam and the Standing Rock Sioux
Copyright © 1976 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Oahe Dam and the Standing Rock Sioux MICHAEL L. LAWSON In January 1960, 190 Indian families on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation were evicted from their homes by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. In the midst of a fierce Dakota winter, with temperatures falling as low as thirty degrees below zero, these people were forced to gather all of their possessions and evacuate their land adjoining the Missouri River. The Corps of Engineers had declared that this land would soon be fiooded by the Oahe Dam. Because the federal government had not previously made funds available for the relocation and reconstruction of their homes, these Indian people were crowded into cold, cheerless trailer houses, which they had to maintain at their own expense until permanent housing could be prepared. Only later did the Standing Rock Sioux learn that this hardship had been entirely unnecessary. The eviction date established by the Corps had been an arbitrary one. Tribal members could have remained in their homes for several more months without interfering with completion of the Oahe Reservoir.^ This incident is all too typical of the recent history of government attitudes concerning Indian land and water rights. Because they have traditionally lived in the river valleys and perhaps because they have very little pohtical significance. Native Americans seem to have suffered to a great extent from both dislocation and human insensitivity in regard to the construction of fiood control and reclamation projects. In Pennsylvania, for example, the federal government violated 1.
