The Tenton were little impressed with the Americans, and tensions grew until their leader brought peace back. While with the Tenton was half a week, Clark made observations, and wrote specifics about the Tetons. The Teton men wore hawk feathers about their heads and robes over their bodies, while women dressed in buffalo skins and robes. Also Tetons held a number of celebrations to celebrate a war victory over the rival Omahas. No one in the expedition spoke Sioux, so there were many misunderstandings, and as more added up, the more their visit came to an end.

The Teton Sioux Tribe lived right off the  Missouri River, and was the most aggressive tribe Lewis and Clark had experienced on their trip. Their intentions were controlling the trades on the river, and when traders passed, often times the Tenton would demand gifts. Sometimes, they even violent tactics. The Tenton traded with its neighbors, trading guns, clothes, and supplies for food. The Teton had a very strict, large army, made aware to their neighbors. The relations between the Tenton and the travels was full of tension.

This organism is a predator, and eats mice and small birds. It is a bit bigger than a chicken, and a bit small than a sheep. Nevertheless it could eat both with its set of jaws. In the winter is is a bit easier to spot, due to its auburn red color. The tips of its ears and paws are black like coal. Hunting these animals makes a great meal for a few, and makes a small blanket for John Baptist. Also if you sew multiple together, you get a warm cloak or blanket. The small bones also help in making tools or a knife.

In the East, we do not see such plants as these. These plants live in the driest of areas, due to needing only little water. The base of the organism is green, with little needle like one inch spines poking off it. Off of the main plant, extending from the top, are purple pinkish like swollen fruits. The fruits look like stubby, swollen fingers branching off a wide, flat, green hand. The needles help us stich up broken skin when we move through thorns. Also we would peal off the fruits’ skins and eat the insides. They were quite satisfying.

Private Bratton is also quick on his feet, and knows what to do in an immediate situation. “While walking along the shore, seeking relief from painful boils, he came into close contact with a grizzly bear… Though wounded, the powerful bear chased Bratton more than half a mile before he was able to hail other Corps members, who were rowing up river. The party was able to trace the bear’s steps by following a trail of blood, whereupon they killed it, preserving its hide and salvaging its meat for rendering into grease for cooking.” Salvaging all the resources within the bear. This is resourceful and shows that Bratton is not wasteful which will also help on the journey.

I would choose Private William Bratton because he is resourceful. Bratton was an experienced blacksmith since a young age. He is also a very good gunsman, which would come into conduct when hunting and defending ourselves. The article says, “In order to trade with the Mandans for corn and dried vegetables, the members of the Corps agreed to repair and sharpen metal objects that the Mandan and Hidatsa Indians had collected from British traders (including hoes, skinning knives, kettles, and firearms). Bratton and Alexander Willard, the two members of the Corps trained in blacksmithing and gunsmithing, were crucial to this effort.” This proves that William Bratton would be useful in trading with Natives as well.

Cloth will be key to build some shelters, and keep the oil lamps running. We need these oil lamps to travel during night, and  these cloth strip will helps.

These utensils would be useful to document new findings, or used to make maps, and journal entries.

A hand compass will help navigating, and tell you the simple direction you would be traveling.

In the West, many natives didn’t have tobacco, so having these tobacco rolls would be great for trading.

Knapsacks are backpacks with a material that is waterproof. These would be useful for carrying first aids around, small tools, small weapons and water when you are walking.

I would definitely pack shoes!!! Hiking across the continent with unprotected feet is a big mistake. You need shoes to protect your feet from thorns, sticks, and traps for animals made by Indians.

This book would come useful because on our expedition, we would need to know which plants were edible and how to identify animals. This book describes both!

A knife could slice meat, use to cut down limbs for shelter, and use to defend yourself from unwanted predators. Knives last longer than bullets and guns, and if they become dull, you can also sharpen it with a rock and fire.
