...The Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) was the first overland expedition undertaken by the United States to the Pacific coast and back. The expedition team was headed by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and assisted by Sacajawea and Toussaint Charbonneau. The expedition's goal was to gain an accurate sense of the resources being exchanged in the Louisiana Purchase. The expedition laid much of the groundwork for the Westward Expansion of the United States. Read full entry

Lewis and Clark question Can someone give me more
information on how Lewis and
Clark related to the Indians?
Like what did he negotiate
with them for? And what did
Lewis tell the Indians the
expedition was for? And What
the Indians couple expect from
the USA. I just need more
information on the
relationship between Lewis and
Clark and the Indians. What
did Lewis expect from the
Indians?
Thanks for your help!!
This question is in relation
to the entry of their journal
on August 17th, 1805.

I doubt they got into much in depth negotiations. They just traded for items they needed and asked for advice how to get upstream. Any more than that and they would have invited attack. It is not like they had any hope of backup so they could only ask of the Indians and not make any sorts of demands. "Lewis tried to give his standard explanation of the trip, and suggest that if the Blackfeet would make peace with their Indian enemies, U.S. traders would come along with guns and other goods for all tribes. The Blackfeet understood Lewis to say that the U.S. planned to arm the Blackfeet's enemies and come help them fight. Not too surprisingly, they wanted to kill these whites so they couldn't return to the Great Father that Lewis spoke of. At least two Blackfeet died in the fight." http://www.lewisandclark.com/f acts/faqs.html#fght |
