The record — long form
Knife River is the villages — the Awatixa that's the Sacagawea, the '1525' that's the established. The earthlodges are the visible — the 50 that's the Lower, the '31 sites' that's the remaining. The smallpox was the '37 — the 'greatly reduced' that's the population, the trade hub that's the ended.
The Lewis and Clark is the '04 — the Fort Mandan that's the winter, the Charbonneau that's the hired. The Catlin is the '32 — the painting that's the record, the 'earth-covered lodges' that's the title. Knife River is the hub — the 700 years that's the settlement, the Sacagawea that's the home.
The file keeps Knife River: the Sacagawea village, the '37 smallpox, the Lewis and Clark winter, and the earthlodges.
