A4. It would help us understand how challenging the mission was. To cross unknown (to them at least) lands and crossing paths with unknown creatures #parkchat
Q4: Most people have a basic 4th grade knowledge of the #lewisandclark story. But how would our understanding of the expedition change if we looked at it as if we were standing on the shore watching the Corps of Discovery pass by on boats? #parkchat

Excellent point! When the Corps first heard about Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) they thought that the natives were telling tall tales, little did they know that the 7 feet tall, 800 pound, 35 mph running bears were very real.

That would require a much deeper dive wouldn’t it? You’d get a much better view of the people and the incredible effort they were making to keep the expedition going.

Well, how about we put ourselves in the place of the Native tribes who were watching the boats come up the river?

A4. From the standpoint of Native Americans, I can only guess there was curiosity, and perhaps a little fear of something different coming their way. I wonder how Native Americans today think about the story.

A4 I always like to imagine the incredible, pristine landscapes as they were - filled with wildlife and natural wonders that were rendered unrecognizable mere decades later.
