Secretary of Interior Gale Norton and other federal officials will be kicking off events for the bicentennial commemoration of the Lewis and Clark expedition.

The timeline and location for the multi-year "Corps of Discovery II" follows the journey the two men made to the Pacific Northwest from 1803 to 1806. It begins in Charlottesville, Virginia, tomorrow and ends in St. Louis, Missouri, in September 2006.

There will be tribal participation at all events. A drum group from the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation of North Dakota will open the "Tent of Many Voices" tomorrow. On Friday, there will be a private tribal leaders reception and Norton will officially kick open the bicentennial on Saturday.
