OBJECTIVE(S): • The student will explain how Lewis and Clark made an impact on North Dakota. ASSESSMENT: • Choose one person you learned about in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and tell a friend what their role was in the journey. MATERIALS: • Computer • Prezi • Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7vCQpqolXw) • Notebook • Writing Utensil PROCEDURE:PREZI https://prezi.com/view/CBNN9f57ioZs4lGUF2PT/ • The teacher will show three images. The student will analyze the images and answer the questions along with the image. • MOTIVATION – Tell the student that they will be learning about the Lewis and Clark Expedition today. Ask students “If you were on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, what 3 items would have been essential to pack?” • The student will write down their 3 items that they would pack in their notebook. • The teacher will list some items they could have included on their list. • The student will watch a video that gives an overview of the entire expedition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7vCQpqolXw • DIRECT INSTRUCTION – The teacher will present the following information: - Topic 1 - On October 14, 1804, the Corps of Discovery made their way into what is now known as North Dakota. - The group set up cap after traveling over 1200 miles along the Missouri River. - The men traveled past a Mandan village that had been abandoned after the smallpox epidemic. - In North Dakota, Lewis and Clark saw a grizzly bear for the first time and thought this part of the country was beautiful. They could tell winter was coming soon. - Topic 2 - By the end of October, they reached the Mandan and Hidatsa villages which were located near the present-day cities of Washburn and Stanton. - The Mandan and Hidatsa people welcomed all peaceful visitors, raised crops, and participated in trade. - Lewis and Clark wanted their trade center to be opened up to American traders. - Since these people were friendly and willing to help Lewis and Clark, they decided to spend the winter in North Dakota and stay close by. - The men started to chop down cottonwood trees to build their winter home. They made their home with 3 sides and had an 18 ft. high stockade. They named their home Fort Mandan. - Topic 3 - Lewis and Clark hired a French-Canadian trader who was married to a woman of the Mandan tribe as an interpreter. Him and his wife moved into Fort Mandan. - Another French-Canadian man, named Toussaint Charbonneau, asked to be their Hidatsa interpreter. They hired him along with his wife, Sakakawea, because she could speak the language on the Shoshone tribe. - The Mandan people were very interested in Clark’s servant, named York. They had never seen an African American man before. - A very valuable member of the expedition was John Shields. He was a blacksmith, which is a person who makes and shapes things out of iron. He made metal items that Lewis and Clark traded to the Mandan and Hidatsa people for corn, meat, and other foods. - Topic 4 - The winter was very cold. The Mandan and Hidatsa homes were warm, but Fort Mandan was not. The only way to warm their home was to burn cottonwood trees in the fireplaces. Many of the men suffered from frostbite. - On February 11, 1805 Sakakawea gave birth to a boy and named him Jean Baptiste. They brought him along on the expedition. Sakakawea carried him on her back as a sign of peace to tribes they met along the way. - During the winter, the men went hunting, made equipment, and other items to prepare for the rest of their journey. They used cottonwood trees to make canoes. - The men started their journey wearing boots. When living near the Mandan and Hidatsa people, they switched to what they wore, moccasins. They were more comfortable and wore them for the rest of their journey. - Lewis and Clark spent much of their time talking to the people in this area to gather information about the areas they would be exploring and the tribes they would meet. - TOPIC 5 - After five months of staying in this area, the men started getting ready to continue their expedition. - Thirty-three people including Charbonneau, Sakakawea, and their son, left Fort Mandan and continued along the Missouri River. They needed horses to be able to cross the mountains that would be coming. They planned to get them from the Shoshone tribe, which is why Sakakawea came. - Lewis would often walk along the shore instead of riding in the canoe. His dog, Seaman, always walked along side him. He was a Newfoundland dog that was very strong and could swim well. He was very protective of everyone. When other animals got too close to the campsite, he would bark and chase them away. - The men were surprised by how much wildlife there was. There were huge herds of bison, packs of wolves, antelope, elk, and deer. The most important animal in the fur trade game was the beaver which they found by the river. They had never seen prairie dogs before and gave them the name “barking squirrels.” - On April 25, the expedition reached the meeting point of the Yellowstone and Missouri River. Clark wrote in his journal that this would be a good spot for a fort. They continued on their journey and left North Dakota. About 25 years later, a fur trading post, Fort Union, was built where Clark said would be a good place. • The student will choose one character they learned about and tell what their role was in the expedition. MODIFICATION/DIFFERENTIATION: • Students that finish the assessment and need more, can tell the importance of each person that was included in the lesson.

William Clark holda unique place in American history and an even more unique place in the history of the Pacific North- west.The Lewis and Clark Expedition was the first official United States exploring expedition; perhaps themost important.

Russia, and Great Britain contested for its ownership, but the Oregon Countrycame direct to the United States from the Indian inhabitants.The expedition of Lewis and Clark contributed to that end, and helpedto add to the United States an area about halfas large as that of the original Thirteen States, thefirst American land on Pacific shores. Many books, large and small, by historians and novelists, have been published on the expedition, includingacentury after their tripthe original journals of Captains Lewis and Clark.In those books the expedition is viewed in thecourse of our national history, which then still centered on the Atlantic seaboard.In them the events at Fort Clatsop receive but brief treatment, although here was their goal, and, although their journey was only half completed, here theywere at their farthest point.

During this winter the temperature dropped as low as 40 degrees below zero. The Captains had their men build a fort near the Mandan villages, which they named Fort Mandan. That is where they spent the winter, waiting for spring so that they could continue their journey. The Mandan and Hidatsa Indians were well acquainted with white fur traders and knew of many European customs. During the winter of 1804-1805, these Indians visited Fort Mandan almost daily and were helpful in providing food and information to the Americans. It was while they were at Fort Mandan that Lewis and Clark met Charboneau and his wife Sacagawea. It was also here that baby “Pomp” was born. Here is what Captain Clark wrote in his journal about the Mandan/Hidatsa Indians visiting the Corps at Fort Mandan: William Clark, December 31, 1804 “ A number of Indians here every Day our blacksmith mending their axes, hoes etc for which the squaws bring corn for payment.” At the end of their stay, the day before leaving Fort Mandan, Clark wrote: William Clark, Wednesday, March 20, 1805 “I visited the Chief of the Mandans in the Course of the Day and Smoked a pipe with himself and Several old men.” Questions and activities for cooperative group to consider: • find the location of Fort Mandan • how far did the Corps travel from St.

  • The Sacagawea Mystique: Her Age, Name, Role and Final Destiny Columbia Magazine, Fall 1999: Vol
    History Commentary - The Sacagawea Mystique: Her Age, Name, Role and Final Destiny Columbia Magazine, Fall 1999: Vol. 13, No. 3 By Irving W. Anderson EDITOR'S NOTE The United States Mint has announced the design for a new dollar coin bearing a conceptual likeness of Sacagawea on the front and the American eagle on the back. It will replace and be about the same size as the current Susan B. Anthony dollar but will be colored gold and have an edge distinct from the quarter. Irving W. Anderson has provided this biographical essay on Sacagawea, the Shoshoni Indian woman member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, as background information prefacing the issuance of the new dollar. THE RECORD OF the 1804-06 "Corps of Volunteers on an Expedition of North Western Discovery" (the title Lewis and Clark used) is our nation's "living history" legacy of documented exploration across our fledgling republic's pristine western frontier. It is a story written in inspired spelling and with an urgent sense of purpose by ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary deeds. Unfortunately, much 20th-century secondary literature has created lasting though inaccurate versions of expedition events and the roles of its members. Among the most divergent of these are contributions to the exploring enterprise made by its Shoshoni Indian woman member, Sacagawea, and her destiny afterward. The intent of this text is to correct America's popular but erroneous public image of Sacagawea by relating excerpts of her actual life story as recorded in the writings of her contemporaries, people who actually knew her, two centuries ago.

  • Toussaint Charbonneau (1767- C
    Toussaint Charbonneau (1767- c. 1839-1843) By William L. Lang Toussaint Charbonneau played a brief role in Oregon’s past as part of the Corps of Discovery, the historic expedition led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in 1804-1806. He is one of the most recognizable among members of the Corps of Discovery, principally as the husband of Sacagawea and father of Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, the infant who accompanied the expedition. The captains hired Charbonneau as an interpreter on April 7, 1805, at Fort Mandan in present-day North Dakota and severed his employment on August 17, 1806, on their return journey. Charbonneau was born on March 22, 1767, in Boucherville, Quebec, a present-day suburb of Montreal, to parents Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau and Marguerite Deniau. In his youth, he worked for the North West Company, and by the time Lewis and Clark encountered him in late 1804, he was an independent trader living at a Minnetaree village on the Knife River, a tributary to the Missouri near present-day Stanton, North Dakota. Charbonneau lived in the village with his Shoshoni wife Sacagawea, who had been captured by Hidatsas in present-day Idaho four years earlier and may have been sold to Charbonneau as a slave. On November 4, William Clark wrote in his journal that “a Mr. Chaubonée [Charbonneau], interpreter for the Gros Ventre nation Came to See us…this man wished to hire as an interpreter.” Lewis and Clark made a contract with him, but not with Sacagawea, although it is clear that the captains saw Sacagawea’s great benefit to the expedition, because she could aid them when they traveled through her former homeland.

  • The Diplomacy of Lewis and Clark Among the Teton Sioux, 1804-1807
    Copyright © 2005 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Diplomacy of Lewis and Clark among the Teton Sioux, 1804-1807 HARRY H. ANDERSON When Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out up the Missouri River from Saint Louis in the summer of 1804 to explore a route to the Pacific Ocean, they carried with them instructions from President Thomas Jefferson to gather information on the native peo- ple of the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. Knowledge of the vari- ous tribes' locations, populations, languages, alliances, and disposi- tion toward the United States government was essential to building friendly diplomatic relations with the Indians, whose cooperation would help to ensure the safe passage of the expedition and American dominance of the region's economy in the future. Among the most important diplomatic objectives of the Lewis and Clark Expedition were promoting peace among the trihes, protecting trade, and vrin- ning the Indians' recognition of the sovereign authority of the United States. Key to the success of this diplomacy along the Upper Missouri River were the several tribes of the Teton, or Lakota, Sioux Indians within present-day South Dakota.' 1. The Lakotas, orTetons, as they were known at the time of Lewis and Clark, make up one division of the three linguistically related tribes known collectively as the Sioux. In the early 1800S, they comprised four major subdivisions living along or west of the Missouri River: the Oglalas, Miniconjous, Saones, and Brûlés, (ames R, Walker, Lakota Soäety, ed.

    Native Peoples Encountered by Lewis & Clark Village Locations in 1803-1806 Osage Village Location in 1803-1806: present-day western Missouri, about 300 miles from St. Louis The Osage were one of the first nations encountered by the Expedition. The tribe lived 300 miles west of St. Louis, along what is today the western border of Missouri. The nation frequently traded with Pierre Chouteau, the man who helped Lewis & Clark organize the Indian delegations to Washington, and Osage were represented in the first party to meet President Jefferson. One of the first plant specimens Lewis collected for the President was a cutting of the Osage orange tree (which he called the “Osage apple”). Native peoples used the wood for war clubs and bows, and early French trappers called the tree bois d’arc, literally “wood of bow.” President Jefferson’s interest in the Osage orange cutting that Lewis sent to him ensured its proliferation throughout the states, and today, it grows throughout the East. Missouri & Oto Village Locations in 1803-1806: along the Missouri River, near the present-day Missouri- Nebraska border Lewis and Clark found these tribes living together along the present-day Missouri-Nebraska border. Once two independent nations, they joined villages after a smallpox epidemic greatly reduced their numbers. They were farmers and bison hunters. Missouri Chief Big Horse and Oto Chief Little Thief met with the two American captains in the Expedition’s first tribal council in August 1804 at a site named Council Bluff (or Bluffs). It was the first test of the Expedition party’s strategies for negotiating with the Indians: token gifts, technology demonstrations, and speech making and diplomacy, challenged by great language barriers.
