Lewis and Clark Through Indian Eyes: Nine Indian Writers on

Lewis and Clark Through Indian Eyes: Nine Indian Writers on the Legacy of the Expedition

At the heart of this landmark collection of essays rests a single question: What impact, good or bad, immediate or long-range, did Lewis and Clarkâ€™s journey have on the Indians whose homelands they traversed? The nine writers in this volume each provide their own unique answers; from Pulitzer prize-winner N. Scott Momaday, who offers a haunting essay evoking the voices of the past; to Debra Magpie Earlingâ€™s illumination of her ancestral family, their survival, and the magic they use to this day; to Mark N. Trahantâ€™s attempt to trace his own blood back to Clark himself; and Roberta Connerâ€™s comparisons of the explorerâ€™s journals with the accounts of the expedition passed down to her. Incisive and compelling, these essays shed new light on our understanding of this landmark journey into the American West.
