On-A-Slant
Village near the confluence of the Missouri and Heart rivers, was one
of the traditional Mandan villages. The Corps of Discovery camped across
the Missouri river from the site in October 1804, where their journals
report that the ruins of the then-abandoned village were still visible.
Located near Ft. Abraham Lincoln and Ft. McKeen, some six miles south
of the city of Mandan, this historic site has reconstructed earth lodges,
an interpretive center, and campground facilities. It also hosts a number
of annual events commemorating the rich history of the area and region.
