I say this because Jean Baptiste LePage was a French-Canadian fur trader. This will be good because he can help us trade when we are in desperate need of something, but don’t have it. Before the time of the exploration, he was living amongst the Hidatsa and Mandan Indians. This is  helpful because if another tribe speaks the same language, he can help translate it to us. 
    Another important reason for why I would bring Jean is because he has been further up the Missouri River than most non Indians. He had seen the Black Hills and Little Missouri. This is valuable because Jean will know more of the land since Lewis and Clark still had more to yet explore. If they were to run into a problem, maybe Jean had run into it when he first explored the land so he may know what to do.

These chocolate lilies grow in moist tide flats, meadows, open forests, rocky beaches, and stream banks in the lowland to subalpine zones. They can also grow up to eight to twenty-four inches tall. The leaves are arranged in whorls of five to nine down the stem. They are dark greenish brown to brownish purple (chocolate colored). These flowers have a very foul smell which makes them populated by flies. 
     The bulbs consist of several fleshy scales and their bladelike stalk, which disintegrate into numerous rice-like bulblets. The bulbs were broken apart and then soaked in one or more changes of water to remove the bitter taste. The bulbs could also be dried for wintertime use. Though slightly bitter, some people still collect and eat chocolate lily bulbs.

A great example is having goats. They are small animals that can’t run very fast. They also have a lot of meat on them. If the coyotes are hungry and goats are nearby, they have a little snack. ]]> 2017-02-05 14:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mbroyles21/almuqesyv7ib/wish/151658804 Post 4: Indian Tribe mbroyles21 https://padlet.com/mbroyles21/almuqesyv7ib/wish/151660688     One tribe that Lewis and Clark encountered was the Teton Sioux. The Teton Sioux lived near present day Pierre, South Dakota. These Tetons were known for their aggressiveness and power. They would always demand large gifts from passing merchants. They would sometimes use more violent ways. After the expedition went through its rituals for meeting Indians, tensions began to rise between them. They got so intense that it nearly resulted in an armed conflict. Luckily for them, the Teton chief, Black Buffalo, got in the middle and brought things back down to a more professional level.  ]]> 2017-02-05 14:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mbroyles21/almuqesyv7ib/wish/151660688 Post 5: Spirit Mound mbroyles21 https://padlet.com/mbroyles21/almuqesyv7ib/wish/151711736     One stop that Lewis and Clark made was to Spirit Mound. This was located near Vermillion, South Dakota. The absolute location for Spirit Mound is 42.8743° N, 96.9588° W. It is super hot and has smooth trails. Great for a day you want to go on a short walk on. Also, Spirit Mound was known as a “mountain of evil spirits”, a “hill of little people”, and a “place of Deveals”. The Sioux, Omaha, and Otoe tribes were armed with arrows, these spirits attacked anyone who approached the hill. ]]> 2017-02-06 02:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mbroyles21/almuqesyv7ib/wish/151711736 Post 5: Beaverhead Rock mbroyles21 https://padlet.com/mbroyles21/almuqesyv7ib/wish/151718404     Another stop that Lewis and Clark made was to Beaverhead Rock. This was located near Dillon, Montana. The absolute location for Beaverhead Rock is 45.3854° N, 112.4585° W. The climate down there was normal. Normal for them back then was warm and cool. Lewis and Clark’s intentions for stopping here were to find the Shoshones. Since Sacagawea was a Shoshoni, she new some landmarks on where they would be located at. ]]> 2017-02-06 04:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mbroyles21/almuqesyv7ib/wish/151718404
