A view of the Missouri River from the Lower Brule Indian Reservation in central South Dakota. Native Americans in this area are from the same tribe (Lakota — or “Teton Sioux” as Lewis and Clark referred to them) that engaged in an armed standoff with the Corps of Discovery in September 1804. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and the outnumbered Americans were able to continue on to the Pacific. (Google Street View Image) For my other Lewis and Clark virtual ride posts, click here.
