Today we traveled into the Indian Village of the Mandans. The Mandan are a peaceful tribe who gather most of their food from farming. Their village's are some of the biggest trade sites in America. People from all over including English, French, other Native tribes, and all sorts of different people. We brought with us immense goods for trade with the Village and people were immediatly crowding around us. We needed some where to spend the winter and this place seemed to be the best bet for us. The kind Village cheif gave us permission to use the land on the other side of the river as our space to build a fort. The two captains decided to name the Fort Fort Mandan and ordered us to start working at once. I need to help gather wood.
