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 Clark'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 Earling's illumination of her ancestral family, their
survival, and the magic they use to this day; to Mark N. Trahant's
attempt to trace his own blood back to Clark himself; and Roberta
Conner's comparisons of the explorer'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.
