Lewis and Clark discovered nearly 50 native american tribes. Some tribes had never seen white or black men before Lewis and Clark but others spoke some english. Eventually Lewis and Clark developed a ritual to make peace with the native Americans and to let them know that their land now belonged to Thomas Jefferson. They also gave the tribes a medal with Thomas Jefferson on one side and 2 hands clasping on the other.

during 160 days in North Dakota the corps witnessed brutal air temps frequently below zero, sometimes as brutal as - 40 F or more. simple tasks were very hard, such as hunting, journaling, and finding places to rest.

Jean Baptiste, also know as Pompey developed a strong attachment to Clark. Jean Baptiste helped them provide peace with native americans, and accompanied his mom all the way to the pacific and back.

No one really knows what happened to Seaman. Lots of people think he perished somewhere along the journey to the pacific, and others think he survived. Lewis did not spend lots of time writing about him in his journal entries but it seems like Seaman just disappeared, leaving on hint as to what happened to him.
