On-A-Slant: Miti-bah-wah-esh is a visual immersion into a long-ago era on the Western Plains, and provides a means to 'travel through time' and 'walk through' a Mandan village as it existed ca. 1776, five years before the village's abandonment in 1781. The reconstructed village is modeled based on scholarly research of the site, the Native population, and the era, and it is as historically accurate as the documentation allows. The dramatic sights and sounds include a narrative tour of the village, preserved artifacts from the site (a bone hoe, a stone hide scraper, a horn spoon, and a clay pot), a short story spoken by Edwin Benson, believed to be the last native Mandan language speaker.
