The Arikara had built Star Village in…
June 1864 CE
They had had to abandon it after a fierce fight with the Sioux a few months later.
The Arikara have crossed the Missouri and built new earth lodges and log houses near the common Mandan and Hidatsa village Like-a-Fishhook Village.
The village is built outside the Three Tribes treaty area.
"We, the Arikara, have been driven from our country on the other side of the Missouri River by the Sioux", declares chief White Shield in 1864.
Like a Fishhook Village wis not safe from devastation, strikes or raids for horses (and neither is the nearby trading post Fort Berthold II).
Just before the end of 1862, some Sioux had burned a part of the village.
The affiliation of the Sioux is not always clear: Lakota, Yanktonai and "refugee" Santee Sioux from the Minnesota uprising sometimes attack the Three Tribes.
As always in intertribal warfare, there are interludes with peace—and conflicts with other Indian foes, as for example the Assiniboine.
