Great!
Lewis and Clark have reached the Mandan Village with their fellow explorers.
I have spotted an Indian tribe!
Lewis is trying to make a good first impression with the Grand Chief Black Cat of the Mandans, and it's working.
Hello! This is Captain Clark and I am Captain Lewis.
We are the Mandan Indians, and this is our village.
Lewis, Clark, Black Cat, and an interpreter walked the land to see what it was like; fertile soil, but sparse timber.
The Mandan Indians will allow the explorers to build Fort Mandan and stay for the winter.
We would like to spend the winter here.
We have a deal; that sounds great!
Why don't you build a fort here for the winter!
Clark spent his time writing about the area, and about the Mandan and Hidatsa Indians.
Zzzzz...
Hmmm...
Four Weeks Later...
After a long four weeks, their fort was completed, and there was already six inches of snow on the ground.
It sure is cold!
At least we have completed Fort Mandan.
