The Shoshones lived in Montana. Their misket bearing enemies the blackfeet had driven the band from the rich buffalo plains into the mountains. The tribe was one of the many who showed peace with Lewis, Clark and the Corps. They helped Lewis and Clark tremendously by giving them Sacagawea and Jean Baptiste. This was a big help to them because bringing a women and a baby with them showed to other tribes that they were there for peace, not war. She also was a good translator with other tribes because she spoke many tribe languages, she also knew the good trails, what plants they could eat and how to hunt. She was a tremendous help to Lewis and Clark.

Plant- One plant they discovered on their expedition was tobacco. They probably thought that this plant was poison ivy, since it looks very similar and poison ivy grows in the areas that they explored. This was very useful to many tribes. They grew it, sold it and used it for many things. The indians mostly used it to smoke. They grew it up on a flat hill. When it was done they rolled it in bark and hung it over fire to dry, then they were allowed to smoke it.

Animal- One animal that was discovered during the Lewis and Clark expedition was the Buffalo. When the corps saw this animals they probably got really scared because they are so big. They probably thought that it was hostile. Along the way they probably learned that they were very useful to the Native though. They provide a lot of fur and every part of it was useful, the Native didn’t waste a single part of them.

If I had to choose two people to bring with me on my expedition it would be...

1) I think Meriwether Lewis was the most important person in the Lewis and Clark expedition. I say this because he was the captain, and without they may have not got to modern day Oregon. He was the captain of the military meaning he was in very good shape, making the almost three year trip a little easier and very helpful to the other people. Lewis was able to use the discipline and team leadership skills he developed while serving in the army. He was often the leader in conducting speeches and granted “certificates” to the different Native American tribes.

2) I would say that sacagawea was the second most important person that went on the Lewis and Clark expedition. Since she was a girl, and had a kid with her, Jean Baptiste, it showed that they were there for peace and not war. She also could speak numerous Native American languages which helped them communicate with the other tribes, so that they could have peace. With her skills she showed the men what foods they could eat, the different trails and where different tribes lived. She also got horses from another tribe she was friends with which really helped the corps travel up the mountains, the horses could hold some of the language making it easier on the men.

If I had to choose five things to bring with me it would be...
1)  I would want to bring a hand compass because you always want to know where you are going, so you know that you are getting and going to the right place.

2)  A hatchet because you can cut wood with them and you can also use it to kill animals and skin them, it has multiple uses to it.

3)  Food and water would be the main thing that you would need to bring, because you need it to survive when you can’t find anything to kill or a place to get water.

4)  Clothes are another big thing that you would need to bring to keep you warm when its cold and protected from other elements, like the sun so you don’t get severly burnt.

5)  You would also need to bring some medical supplies with you in case someone got hurt. Maybe they broke a bone, or walked into poison Ivy, or got pricked by a porcupine.
