THE TRIBES

This page serves as the gateway to information about the Tribes who met the Corp of Discovery. Clicking on the "PBS" links will take you to the PBS web site where information about the Tribes at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition has been provided. Clicking on the "Legacy" links will let you know what has happened to the Tribes since that time. Because the PBS links open a full window and take you to a different web site, you need to close the file by clicking the X in the upper right corner of the page. This serves as the "BACK" function of your web browser and will return you to this page. Note that each "legacy" page begins with a state or regional map indicating current reservation boundaries. Bear in mind that at the time of the Expedition ALL of the area was "Indian Country." Note also that on several of the links frames there is a link to a description of the respective tribe from The North American Indian, by E S Curtis. Curtis spent more than forty years writing about and photographins Indians. The exerpts included here are meant to convey a "White Man's" view of the peoples of this time period. Any opinions expressed are his, not those of this author. The Curtis Collection is, however one of the best sources for historical photos to be found on the internet.
