∙ 11y agoThe Mandan lived on the edge of the Great Plains along the upper Missouri river. They lived in semi-permanent villages of earth lodges, but occasionally hunted buffalo or deer out on the Plains using tipis. They also farmed, growing the usual maize, beans and squash, as well as sunflowers for their edible seeds.
The Mandans were enemies of the Lakota tribes and were no match for them in battle; eventually the Mandans obtained more buffalo hides and meat in trade from other tribes than they got by hunting, since they were too afraid of attacks by Lakotas to venture far from their villages.

∙ 11y agoThe Mandans were one of the three so-called "Village Tribes" of the upper Missouri river. They were not nomadic like the true Plains tribes, but lived in semi-permanent villages of earth lodges like the Arikara and Hidatsa. They both farmed (raising maize, beans and squash) and hunted buffalo, deer, antelope and elk - Mandan hunters used small versions of the Plains tipi when away from the village.
Mandan villages were usually built on bluffs overlooking the river and were protected by a tall palisade fence. They were enemies of many other tribes including the Lakota group, the Cheyenne and the Blackfoot tribes.
Unlike most other people in the area (except the other two Village tribes) the Mandan women made and used circular boats of willow boughs covered with buffalo hides ("bull boats") which have a passing resemblance (but no connection) to Welsh coracles.
There were elements of Plains culture in their lifestyle: warrior societies, use of horses for warfare and hunting, special ceremonial regalia, rituals and dances. They also had elements of the eastern woodlands culture: farming, pottery making and basket weaving.
Certain Mandan regalia was copied by the Lakota Miwatani(Mandan) warrior society, including an owl feather headdress.
Although the Mandan language is classified as Siouan it is in no way similar to Lakota, Crow or Hidatsa.
