Fort Mandan. It was along the Missouri River, and they named it after the Mandan Indians
The journey got off to a slow start because the Corps of Discovery were moving their boats against the current. They left May of 1804 and reached the Mandan Indian villages in North Dakota in late October. They built a small fort and spent the winter with the friendly Mandan. In the spring of 1805 they finally set out again.
They built Fort Mandan in North Dakota during the winter, so they could rest.
The Mandan tribe was agreeable to the goals of Lewis and Clark, and their Corps of Discovery project. However, in spite of peace talks with a neighboring tribe, the Arikaras, fighting broke out. Fortunately, the Mandans kept their relationship with the explorers positive and provided them with food in trade for other goods.

From November 7, 1804 to April 6, 1805, Lewis and Clark and the other spent their second winter at Fort Mandan. It took about three weeks to build Fort Mandan and settle in. The fort was comfortable and warm, which was good because otherwise the men may not have survived as temperatures dropped to 45 degrees below zero. The Americans would go out to hunt but the cold would force them back in and some suffered from frostbite. Meanwhile, the Mandan were quite friendly to them and they loved to see the corps dance, as they had brought with them a fiddle, tambourine and a horn. It was also during this time that Sacajawea gave birth to her first son by her husband Toussaint Charbonneau on February 11.
