Sacagewea joining the Corps Discovery group alongside her husband helped the expedition group more then they could ever know. When encountering different Native Lands along side the journey  William Clark explained that “the Wife of Shabono [Charbonneau]…reconciles all the Indians, as to our friendly intentions. A woman with a party of men is a token of peace.”  Sacagewea was a sign of peace that was able to aid the group in avoiding confrontation from unsuspecting Indians. Not only was Sacagewea a way for the group to travel through the west conflict free, Her knowledge of the land was able to to find the Shoshone tribe by "Recognizing Land marks in her old neighborhood , Sacagawea reassured the explorers that the Shoshone  and their horses - would soon be found". Without Sacagewea identifying important land within her old home the Lewis and Clark expedition group would not have been able   to trade for horses in order to get their supplies over the mountains.

Native American cultural beliefs of land and animals have been a very significant part of their society. That when European Americans crossed paths with the Amerindians their cultures clashed. In Leslie Silko's poem the Ceremony  states " They grow away from the earth...they see no life". The they being the European and growing away from earth being how they don't see nature the same as the Indians. Leaving a disagreeing gap between the beliefs of both cultures. This is a big factor with why the Natives and Americans had conflict between them.

To the tribal leader of the Nez Perce, Lewis and Clark were not heroes. As a result of their expedition many Indians were taken from their land a put onto reservations. They were forced to give up their ways of life including their culture. To them, it was another holocaust. They felt extremely hostile to white people after this. Nez Perce tribe does not need these two people to tell their stories for them, they were insignificant in the Indians perspective.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were chosen by President Jefferson to explore the newly acquired land of the west. Lewis and Clark formed an explore group known as the Corps Discovery. While venturing along the west Lewis and Clark came across over 50 Native American Tribes. One of them being the Mandan  and Hidasta tribe were they developed a bond with a husband named Toussaint Carbenneu and his wife Sacagawea. Toussaint Carbenneu was hired to be a translator for the corps discovery group bringing along Sacagawea and their new born son. Contrary to the belief that sacagawea was a guide and interpreter along the journey although the journals written throughout the group's expedition have no evidence of Sacagawea guiding the group. She's proven to be a very helpful key to the Lewis and Clark expedition having success in
the west

Through the expedition, Lewis and Clark encountered many Native Americans along the way. While some Natives were approachable many others were not. A lot of the Natives were wary of Lewis and Clark's intentions as well as hostile towards them. At one point, Lewis and Clark came into contact with Nez Perce indians who supposedly took them in and helped them regain their health. However, to Nez perce tribal leader that wasn't the case. Lewis and Clark had slaughtered their people and were hostile towards them. In Ceremony excerpt, Leslie silko states "They will carry weapons that shoot death faster than the eye can see." In this quote she is referring to the Americans which Lewis and Clark represent on their expedition. Silko is saying that they will carry weapons and that they will kill. This is relevant because Lewis and another partner who was with him killed two Nez Perce indians on their expedition. This was a major event because what Lewis and his partner did was what Native Americans had expected, which then resulted in Natives wariness of Lewis and Clark as well as the rest of their people.

Many Native American tribes were encountered as a result of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The idea started that Lewis and Clark were the ones who discovered these tribes, when in reality they only stumbled upon the tribe’s land and lifestyle. Which stemmed to American’s believing that Lewis and Clark were “heroes,” when the effect of this expedition of the Native Americans was ignored and forgotten. The loss of the Native American society is described in, “American history tends to eulogize what Lewis and Clark "found" on their 7,400-mile journey. For Native Americans, the story instead is about what was lost -- lives, land, languages and "freedom” (Olsen, Discovering Lewis and Clark Paragraph 8). The triumph of Lewis and Clark's "discovery" of the Native American tribe and land led to destruction in the future. Once the journey was over, the Americans began taking over their land and the Native American livelihood was lost. The misconception of the Native American perspective was assumed to be the same as the American's, but since the group was suppressed no one knew their side of the story. In reality, the loss of life and culture was ignored and hidden by the Americans and the mainstream society.
