Gary Moulton, editor of the 13 volume "Definitive Journals of Lewis & Clark" starts off the Symposium as the keynote speaker.

Our Captains Lewis & Clark are presented with peace medals and pins by the symposium's Captains Lewis & Clark.

Rainbow Falls, one of the many falls that make up Great Falls. Great Falls is the site of Lewis & Clark's longest and most difficult portage.

On the second day of the symposium, we all loaded up in buses and drove to various historic Lewis & Clark sites and listened to speakers.

We visited a place where the Nez Perce Indians were demonstrating their horses, food, and dance. These are some pictures of their dancing. The woman in the background of the picture on the right is wearing a "jingle dress".

After their demonstrations, the indians invited anybody to come participate in a simple traditional dance in which you dance in a large circle. Regina, Joan, Rebecca, Heidi and Greta are seen in the left picture while Mr. Blosser, Mr. Yoder, David, Kurtis, and Mr. Meiser are dancing on the right.

The left picture shows a closer view of Mr. Meiser and David dancing. On the right is Mr. Schrock, Lars, David, Kurtis, Greg and Heidi talking with a Nez Perce grass dancer.

This is our group at the demonstration with the dancer. We talked with him for a while and asked questions about the Nez Perce tribe. After talking to him, he invited all of to a true Nez Perce pow-wow later that night. A few of us went, and had a great time.
