Yellow Bird: Indian perspective on Lewis & Clark
Monday, February 23, 2004
"This week, I went to Bismarck, Hurdsfield and Velva, N.D., to talk to students about the American Indian perspective of that historic journey. Most of the lessons the students are learning are based on the journals of Lewis and Clark and from a non-Indian perspective. In my talks, I tried to give the other point of view. There is something energizing about talking with young people, especially kindergartners and first-graders. They are wide-open to new ideas and will ask the most pointed questions." Get the Story:
