The Mandan Indians were very friendly and helped Lewis and Clark survive the winter often traded corn and other food for beads and trinkets. They would be invited to the Mandan rituals and dances.

Fort Mandan was another victim of the Missouri flooding. The Corps was able to visit the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center adjacent to the fort.
