Mandan
Plains Indian people of Siouan language stock who lived along the Missouri River in what is now SW N. Dakota. They lived in dome-shaped, earth-covered lodges clustered in stockaded villages; planted corn, beans, pumpkins, and sunflowers, hunted buffalo, and made pottery and baskets. They held elaborate ceremonies, incl. the sun dance and the bear ceremony, a healing and war-preparation rite. They had age-graded warrior societies as well as shamanistic and women's societies. Artists depicted heroic deeds on buffalo robes. G. Catlin portrayed Mandan life and people in a series of paintings. By the mid-19th cent. the Mandan, reduced by smallpox, were removed to a N. Dakota reservation, where today they number about 1,000.
