Hidatsa (Nation) AKA Hiraacá
Hidatsa
1851 AD
AKA Hiraacá
Native American indians from the Knife River area in present North Dakota going back to the 13th century.
Accounts of recorded history in the early 18th century identify three closely related village groups to which the term Hidatsa is applied. What is now known as the Hidatsa tribe is the amalgamation of these three groups, which had discrete histories and spoke different dialects; they came together only after settling on the Missouri River (Awati /Awáati).
