Knife River Indian Villages

"Discover the Spirit!"

Knife River Indian Villages is a historical complex dedicated to the live of the Northern Plains Indians. The complex starts with the visitor center where you can watch a film about Native Indians, there history, traditions and the way of live. Then you can walk to a reconstructed earthlodge village and Sakakawea Village site. It is very spiritual to walk there. It makes you think about these great people who were living there. Just imaging living whole North Dakota winter in the a earthlodge!
The place is more siutable for families with bigger kids like 5 and up. Although, you have to do a lot of explaining. We went to visit the village after we read a book about Lewis and Clark. So, it was very natural for our kids. Also, they were excited to see how Fighting Sioux lived back there.
On the downside, I should say, there is not many places around to eat. So, make sure you pack a snack with you.
