fundamentally changes our comprehension of North America prior and then afterward the landing of Europeans Encounters at the Heart of the World concerns the Mandan Indians, notable Plains individuals whose overflowing, occupied towns on the upper Missouri River were for quite a long time at the focal point of the North American universe. We are aware of them for the most part since Lewis and Clark spent the winter of 1804-1805 with them, yet why don't we know more? Who were they truly? In this unprecedented

I do not remember moving to this town, I was too young. I have lived here all my life. My parents moved to the town of Oradell so I could go to a good school and live in a nice house. They bought the cheapest house in Bergen County at the time, since it was all they could afford.
