Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation Tribal Chairman Mark Fox stands for a photo on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, in Bismarck, N.D. The MHA Nation is planning a complex of greenhouses to grow and provide produce on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation and to other tribes and recipients, including exports. The project returns the MHA Nation to its historical agricultural roots, when tribal members long ago grew corn, beans, squash and watermelons on fertile land along the Missouri River, before that land was flooded for Garrison Dam in the 1950s.
