BEN JANSSEN NUKIH DAKOTA NORTH DAKOTA STATE LIBRARY BOOK OR AUTHOR 331 05 00038 8478 HISTORICAL DITS I* of M MERCER COUNTY < :- North Dakota Dedicated To The School Children by C. B. Heinemeyer Published by The Hazen Star INDIANS So far as is known the early inhabitants of what is now Mercer ounty, were the tribes of Indians now known as the Mandans, Rees, [and Grosventre. The Assinoboines, Crows, Cheyennes, and Sioux frequently visited some of the aforementioned tribes. Sometimes it {was a friendly visit to barter and trade, and at times it was a hunting party, or a war party. Traces of one village, also many of the temporary camps on the upper Knife River and Spring Creek marked by teepee rings, denote by their arrangements that they are not of Mandan, Ree, or Grosventre origin^x The Mandans The origi•l n of this tribe is a much disputed question. Some writers claim that!they had seceded from the Sioux, others that they were descendants of white men, while another writer says that their original home was Ion the southeast coast of the United States. The Mandans were one of the most famous of the tribes in the west; they lived in fortified villages and most of their time was devoted to the growing of crops, especially corn. The Rees claim that the Mandans received their knowledge of cultivating corn from them, but! it is probable that the Mandans, while still at their old home in the southeastern part of the United States, were taught to plant corn; by the Indians of Mexico, where the corn plant undoubtedly originated; j The Rees These Indians are sometimes called Panamas, Panis, Aricara, Arickarees and Rus.
