Mandaree (Hidatsa: awadibahcihesh) is a census-designated place (CDP) in McKenzie County, North Dakota in the United States. The population was 596 at the 2010 census.
Mandaree is located on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation. It was founded in 1954 as a home for those displaced by the rising backwaters of the Garrison Dam. The name was suggested by a Catholic missionary on the reservation and uses parts of the names of the three tribes: MANdan, HiDAtsa, and REE, another name for the Arikara.
Mandaree is the primary physical center of the Mandan-Hidatsa community. It is noted nationally for its annual Pow-wow, held the second weekend in July, as well as for being the home of the Mandaree Singers, a world-renowned tribal musical group.
Mandaree Public School District #36 is made up of Mandaree Elementary School and Mandaree High School. Both schools are funded by the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) and the state of North Dakota. The teams are called the "Mandaree Warriors" and "Lady Warriors."
Mandaree is located at 47°43′48″N 102°40′32″W / 47.73000°N 102.67556°W (47.730127, -102.675465).
