A7. It's critical that tribes' memories of the expedition be integral to interpretation of the expedition, whether that be in visitor centers, online, signage, etc. For a start. It's good to see how much progress has been made in the last 15 years. #ParkChat

replying to @LewisClarkTrail @LewisClarkTrail Yep, we definitely need to come back to Oregon - especially when this beauty finishes her renovations! #ParkChat

replying to @LewisClarkTrail @LewisClarkTrail A6. For many trips I make notes once a day, then write the story after--just for me. I also take photos. #parkchat

A7 To tell the story from their perspective, too! It’s so easy with how history is taught (and tested) to ignore and overlook the painful parts. My kids are really surprised when I teach “I will fight no more forever” from Chief Joseph. They don’t know the story! #parkchat

replying to @e_terren @e_terren Another great point! If you want to learn more about the ultimate fate of many of the members of the expedition you can read about it in "Fate of the Corps" by Larry Morris! #Parkchat

replying to @fullvanfun @fullvanfun @LewisClarkTrail Wait a sec, was Haystack part of the trail? If so, have so many emotions for not connecting the dots #ParkChat

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled One of the most important stories in American history I believe. So glad that you teach it. #ParkChat

Q8: We can still see the same landscapes that the Corps of Discovery witnessed. This is because of public lands protection efforts by local, state and federal entities. What has changed? What remains the same? #parkchat

A8. The Columbia River as the Expedition saw it is mostly gone, submerged under reservoirs behind dams. The last free-flowing stretch is near Hanford Reach, not terribly far from Sacajawea @WAStatePks. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @fullvanfun Absolutely! Haystack rock is in fact one of the best examples of sites that look today much as they would have to #LewisandClark over 200 years ago! #Parkchat

replying to @LewisClarkTrail @LewisClarkTrail A4 I always like to imagine the incredible, pristine landscapes as they were - filled with wildlife and natural wonders that were rendered unrecognizable mere decades later. #ParkChat

replying to @LewisClarkTrail @LewisClarkTrail #ParkChat Lots of development along the trail now of course. Think of all of the dams, for example. Still plenty of wilderness though. Protected wilderness with is a change too.

Q9: There are so many universal emotions of undertaking a journey knowing you’ll encounter unfamiliar territory and cultures. What would be some of your emotions if you were to undertake the journey? #parkchat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @Wild_Tribute @LewisClarkTrail I’d argue that descending into rumor in the pursuit of trivia doesn’t help advance the cause of history. #ParkChat

replying to @LewisClarkTrail @LewisClarkTrail #parkchat A8 like many of the other amazing trails west, you can't follow them uninterrupted for very far, but those places that have been preserved are still amazing to witness!

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @LewisClarkTrail @fullvanfun Did you visit the salt works at Seaside, OR? #ParkChat

replying to @LewisClarkTrail @LewisClarkTrail A8) The First Nations traditions for the most part have stayed somewhat the same though modern culture has put a strain on them just like other traditions. #ParkChat

A8. We are fortunate in some areas to see the trail fairly undisturbed but others have a lot more people and traffic around. #parkchat

A9 I would wonder if I would end up like the astronaut in 2001: A Space Odyssey #ParkChat
NakMakFeegle
replying to @LewisClarkTrail @LewisClarkTrail A8 For one, most of the rivers they traveled were wild, where now they are chained by dams. I suspect that only the fragments preserved in parks and wilderness would be remotely recognizable to the corps of discovery today. #ParkChat

replying to @LewisClarkTrail @LewisClarkTrail #parkchat A9 worry about unfamiliar plants for food and medicine, chancing upon large predators, heck even evil humans along your trek. Happy to be free from the bonds of society and daily grind! 😁

replying to @LewisClarkTrail @LewisClarkTrail A7. Respect them. Include them. Recognize their sacred lands. Help them find ways to get out poverty, where it exists. Get lawmakers to do all the above, too. #parkchat
