The only remaining Indian artifacts given to explorers Lewis & Clark will be part of a major exhibit to commemorate the bicentennial observance of their cross-country trip.

The Indian artifacts are coming on loan from the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. Butch Thunder Hawk, a Hunkpapa Sioux artist who teaches at United Tribes Technical College in North Dakota, will be overseeing how the artifacts are presented in the "Indian Hall," which is part of the The National Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Exhibition.

Part of the 6,000-square-foot exhibit will open in 2003 in the Library of Congress. The full show will debut in 2004 at the Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis, where it will travel the country and close at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.
