When Captain Lewis, Captain Clark, and their crew traveled west in 1803-1806, Tribal nations had long been established in every region of the continent. When Lewis and Clark came through, Tribes were rooted in the land of their ancestors with their individual languages, art, food, and technologies. Having endured centuries of broken treaties, stolen land, and relocation, these Tribal nations remain today.
Today, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail passes through 16 U.S. states and the homelands of more than 60 Tribes
