Mandan

second way that my project relates to this year’s theme is that Indian tribes encountered, both friendly and unfriendly, were crucial to their expedition. For example, at one point in their expedition they encountered the Mandans. They wintered at a fort called Fort Mandan. Finally, the third way that my project relates to this year's theme is the exchanges they had with the Indians. Peace medals and gifts were exchanged with the Indians. This had a substantial impact on Lewis and Clark’s…

There are three main topics of why the Market Revolution was so important for historians, ranging from the revolution in Transportation and Communication, changes in agriculture and its…

It all started when my boss/co-worker, President Jefferson,asked me a favor. He had recently purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for $15 million, doubling the size of our country. Jefferson asked me to lead a group of men through the new land and discover its value and content. I gladly accepted the challenge. I am always in for a adventure. I also heard word of a reward! A few days after I wrote to my childhood friend, William Clark, asking him to join me in leading the exciting…

Pierre Gaultier De La Vérendrye Script I think that Pierre Gaultier de la Vérendrye shouldn’t be inducted into the Canadian Explorer Hall of Fame because he didn’t do that much to help make Canada.

In 1731 — at the age of 43, which was old in those days — he decided to become an explorer. He explored Canada and was part of the fur trade. He had…

We start in the time period of about 1803, this is all how the notorious adventure begins. Thomas Jefferson president at the time had an interest in the Louisiana territory owned by the French so with the help of the U.S. Senate he purchases it. Which is known today as the Louisiana Purchase.

American Indian Paper Review I have chosen to write about the amazing and incredible American Indian art work of Dennis R. Fox Jr. and the Buffalo Hide Painting. The artist Dennis R. Fox Jr is a member of three-affiliated tribes (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara) of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation of North Dakota. Dennis R Fox Jr. has American Indian paintings and artwork prominently displayed at Lewis & Clark University and Montello – Peabody native Indian hall of the Thomas Jefferson…

At the point when Thomas Jefferson utilized the youthful warrior Meriwether Lewis as his live-in secretary in 1801, he anon perceived in him the man to lead a campaign into the Louisiana Territory, which Jefferson would anon buy from France, and past to the mouth of the Columbia River on the Pacific coast. Jefferson's aspirations were sundry: logical information of a consummately obscure district, control of affluent exchange courses, and political command. To integrate to Lewis' experience of…

Sacajawea was a Shoshone woman who acted as an interpreter and guide for Lewis and Clark on their expeditions in the west. Sacajawea was born in 1788 and raised in the Rocky Mountain area which is the state of Idaho today. Her Dad was the chief of the Shoshone tribe. She loved her life as a child. Her tribe moved around during the year to gather food. When Sacajawea was eleven years old, another tribe called the Hidatsa tribe attacked her tribe and she was kidnapped and became a slave in that…

The Embargo blocks trade with England and France which crushes…
