The Hidatsa ( ) are a Missouri River Siouan people. They are enrolled in the federally recognized Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. Their language is related to that of the Apsáalooke, and they are sometimes considered a parent tribe of the Apsáalooke in Montana.
== Name == The Hidatsa's autonym is Hiraacá. The word itself is a corruption of the term meaning 'house or lodge made with willows'. The present name Hidatsa was formerly borne by one of the three tribal villages. When the villages consolidated, the name was adopted for the tribe as a whole.
