In the summer of 1999, I took my family on the Lewis and Clark Trail from North Dakota to Oregon, and we canoed and kayaked sections of the same rivers traveled by Sacagawea, the Shoshone Indian woman who had helped Lewis and Clark across the western part of the United States nearly two hundred years ago. This trip was our best family trip ever, and we talked to the various tribes along the way, and panned for gold, and went to a Native American powwow.
