"Lewis and Clark Meet the Otoe and Missouria People"

Matthew "Sitting Bear" Jones presents a program examining the first the second meetings that Lewis and Clark held with the Otoe-Missouria nation.  Though the Otoe-Missouria nation's oral history this program examines the perceptions they had of these new white people.  It also looks at the historical reprecussions that the Otoe-Missouria experienced after this first contact and what the tribe thinks about this historical meeting today.  Learn the Otoe and Missouria side of the encounter.  Hear their words and thoughts about the historic first meeting at Council Bluffs and the very little-known second meeting just south of Sioux City.
