Inhabited by the Mandan Indians for nearly 300 years (AD 1490 - 1785), Double Ditch Indian Village was a large earthlodge village, consisting of dome-shaped houses of logs and earth; that is supposedly one of seven to nine villages that were occupied near the mouth of the Heart River. Centers of trade between the Mandans, their nomadic neighbors, and later, European American traders, the earthlodge villages are thought to have been abandoned due to a massive smallpox epidemic in North America about 1781-1782.
