Site of the Week: Knife River Indian Villages Nati Site of the Week: Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site The Knife River area, according to archaeological studies, has been inhabited by people for over 11,000 years. For hundreds of years it was a significant place of trade for the local tribes, a characteristic that would eventually be used to the advantage of fur traders starting in 1750. It remained a place of trade and mixing cultures until a smallpox epidemic decimated the population in 1837. Following this, the local Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara moved north and established another village. During the time of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Knife River villages were flourishing, providing a booming trading economy in what is modern-day North Dakota. It was from one of these villages that a young woman by the name of Sacagawea would emerge and take her place in the history of the expedition. She was Shoshone and had been taken captive by the Hidatsa during a raid against her tribe before she was won or otherwise purchased by French Canadian fur trader Toussaint Charbonneau. Today, Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Park has a visitors center as well as a rebuilt earthlodge which holds replica artifacts in the summer months. Knowledgeable park rangers are available for tours, and there are multiple trails of varying lengths that are available to hike. There are birding checklists available in the visitors center, so make sure to pick one up so you can keep an eye out for the various bird varieties that are present at the site. https://www.nps.gov/knri/index.htm Photos credited to Cait Clark #lewisandclark #history #adventure #travel #kniferiver #kniferiverindianvillagesnationhistoricsite #nationalparkservice #northdakota

Site of the Week: Kaw Point “The Country about Site of the Week: Kaw Point “The Country about the mouth of this river is very fine,” wrote Captain William Clark on June 27, 1804. He stood at the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas (Kaw) Rivers, watching a menagerie of wildlife teaming about the shores. At the time, this area was home to deer, elk, and buffalo, along with a healthy population of “parrot queets.” These “parrot queets” as Clark called them were the now extinct Carolina Parrot. Unfortunately, their three days at Kaw Point were not entirely peaceful three days for the Corp of Discovery. Just after midnight on June 29th, John Collins, a private, tapped one of the whiskey barrels in a spell of boredom. It was not long before he was drunk. When Hugh Hall came to relieve him, Collins offered him a drink as well. Hall accepted, and the two men were discovered drunk the following morning. Clark, already bothered by the perceived muddiness of the Missouri River’s water, was forced to draw up court martial papers for Collin and Hall. The court martial convened shortly after, made up of their fellow Expedition members. It was decided that Collins would receive 100 lashes and Hall would receive 50. Despite this, both Collins and Hall were at the oars that same afternoon as the Expedition departed for (hopefully) clearer waters. Today, Kaw Point is a small park on the riverbank with a view of Kansas City. Stone benches commemorate each individual Expedition member and interpretive signage guides visitors from the parking lot to the riverfront. There is a boat ramp and an amphitheater in the park as well which is open daily from 7am to 10pm.

The Alliance is celebrating the holidays! On Nove The Alliance is celebrating the holidays! On November 27th, President Bill Bronson helped Carol Bronson and Georgia Kline put up the Circle of State Advisors Christmas Tree Ornaments in the national office. The Circle of State Advisors, a Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Council Committee of all of the states that participated in the Bicentennial, put up a Christmas tree representing the various states in the U.S. Capital in the early 2000's, in anticipation of the upcoming Bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Because the Alliance is the official archive of the Commemoration, these ornaments are now stored in the Sherman Library and Archives. Christmas Tree Donated by Great Falls Home Depot
