The state of North Dakota makes the records of its past accessible to anyone who is doing research on their ancestral past. The State Historical Society of North Dakota offers an informative presentation that will help you understand how the citizens of the state lived in past times. The presentation follows the history of the area back to about 1,000 years ago, when the Mandan and Hidatsa cultures still thrived. These cultures were the first to set up massive trade systems across much of North America.
