29 Fun fact:
The Mandan tribe lived in dome-shaped houses called earth lodges, which were constructed using logs and earth. These semi-subterranean structures provided insulation and were built primarily by women, with men deciding their size.

Went to the TexxasJam at the Cotton Bowl one year. There was a scaffold tower at the center 20 yard line for speakers and the sound board. The top was covered with tarps due to it being summer in Texas. Some dude managed to climb the tower and get to the top and started his epic air guitar show while Whitesnake was performing.


It took them quite a while to get him to come down.

Damn it. Distracted and you inspired me. I had to check out what is offered at Obama's library of doom. From their website.

"The Restaurant
Indulge in an unforgettable culinary journey curated by Chicago's acclaimed Chef Cliff Rome. Experience the vibrant connection between food and community impact, as every dish is crafted with the fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This is more than a meal—it's an invitation to savor the powerful role food plays in enriching our lives and strengthening our community."

Former President Barack Obama joined Democrat nominees for the Senate and Gubernatorial races James Talarico and Gina Hinajosa for an event in Texas’ deep-blue capital of Austin. Talarico could be spotted with a jarring smile in the photograph.

Obama isn’t the only national figure that state Democrats have turned to in hopes of flipping the Senate seat. The guest of honor for the state Democratic convention is slated to be Sen. Bernie Sanders, the radical socialist who helped boost race-communist Zohran Mamdani into Gracie Mansion last November. Sen. Cory Booker and Gov. JB Pritzker will also be campaigning for fellow Democrats in the state.

Not familiar with the Mandan. Went to Wiki.
https://w.wiki/EfZo

Mandan population was 3,600 in the early 18th century. It is estimated to have been 10,000–15,000 before European encounter. Decimated by a widespread smallpox epidemic in 1781, the people had to abandon several villages, and remnants of the Hidatsa also gathered with them in a reduced number of villages. In 1836, there were more than 1,600 full-blood Mandans but, following another smallpox epidemic in 1836–37, this number was estimated to have dropped to 125 by 1838.

In the 20th century, the people began to recover. In the 1990s, 6,000 people were enrolled in the Three Affiliated Tribes.[3] In the 2010 Census, 1,171 people reported Mandan ancestry. Some 365 of them identified as full-bloods, and 806 had partial Mandan ancestry.
