During their journey to the Pacific coast and back, Meriwether Lewis and William Clar k and their small group of voyagers crossed the traditional homelands of more than 50 Native American tribes. The exhibit examines this monumenta l encounter of cultures and examines the past and present effects of that encounter on the lives of the tribes which still live in the region. \n\ n“Lewis and Clark and the Indian Country” is composed of six sections of panels of images and text drawn from original documents in the rich N ative American collections of the Newberry Library, and in the collection s of the Washington State Historical Society, the Minnesota Historical So ciety and other institutions.
