Um, THEY are not L&C. THEY died a couple of centuries ago.
There were many dark moments between the white men and the American Indians...both sides were capable of horrible acts. Acts on immigrants, Wounded Knee, Sand Creek, Little Big Horn... not a shining moment in US History.
Coincidentally I've almost finished reading "The Journals of Lewis and Clark", up to the point where they had reached the confluence of the Snake and Columbia rivers.
All the Indians to date meet them with curiosity and such hospitality as was possible. Seems like a whole lot of smoking went on in the evenings with the Discovery Corps and the various chiefs.
Wish these latter day morons actually knew something of their own history.
Amazing journey, well worth the read even in the abridged version.
