Our Reflections and Conclusions
The Shoshoni were one of the few remaining Native American Tribes that were untouched by American contact before they met Lewis and Clark. The tribe and its members did not know the "white man," but they still helped Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery by giving them food and horses to cross the mountains. Without the Shoshoni, the expedition would not have survived!
We can learn a lot from the Shoshoni. They shared what they had with the Americans even though they needed it for themslves to survive the winter. They were friendly to men that they had never met and had no idea who or what they were. The Shoshoni protected them and agreed to meet the President (their new "Father") and make peace with their rivals for the "white man." The were faithful and wonderful people to Lewis and Clark. What a great example!
