To mark the 200th anniversary of the Corps of Discovery’s joyful return to the Knife River Villages, the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation invite America to gather with the tribes who observed or encountered the Lewis and Clark Expedition in an event offering Native American perspectives. This signature event will contrast the hopes and dreams of President Thomas Jefferson with those of tribal leaders who met Lewis and Clark.

It will also focus on the contributions of Sakakawea, the only woman who was part of the expedition. Her extraordinary story will be presented from the oral histories of all the tribes who knew her and taught her. This Native American event will offer an Indian arts market and trade show, men’s traditional dance tournament, cultural demonstrations and re-enactments, and tours of Indian Country.
