Nine essays by the descendants of the Indians whose homelands were traversed by Lewis and Clark - among them newspaper editor Mark Trahant who writes of his childhood belief that he was descended from Clark and what his own research uncovers; award-winning essayist and fiction writer Debra Magpie Earling describes the tribal ways that helped her nineteenth-century Salish ancestors survive; Montana political figure Bill Yellowtail; Umatilla tribal leader Roberta Conner who compares Lewis and Clarks journal entries about her people with what was actually going on and more. The final essay is by N. Scott Momaday who calls this most difficult of journeys, a vision quest with the visions gained being of profound consequence. Double page map, photographs and other illustrations. xvii. 196 pp.
