Knife River Indian Village NHS in Stanton, ND, was a major Native American trade center for hundreds of years before it became a market for fur traders. The Native American people who lived here were farmers and also hunted bison and other animals. They lived in villages along the Missouri river and built spacious lodges that lasted then about 10 years before they needed to rebuild. The native people also made beautiful hide and bead items such as moccasins, and clothing.
