Winter Village of the Minatarres - Hidatsa Tribe
The Hidatsa Tribe was referred to as the Minnetaree by their allies, the Mandan. This print - Winter Village of the Minatarres - is based on a sketch by Karl Bodmer (a Swiss artist who accompanied Prince Maximilian on a North-American expedition in the early 1830s). The village (Elha-sa) was near Fort Clark (where Bodmer and the Prince spent the winter of 1833-1834). About eighty households lived in the village (which Prince Maximilian described in his journal).
