The Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1803-1806 was a major event that shaped the boundaries and the very future of the United States. It is the mission of the National Council of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial to commemorate that journey, re-kindle its spirit of discovery, and acclaim the contributions and goodwill of the native peoples.
In cooperation with state, federal, and tribal governments-and all interested individuals and organizations, the Council will promote educational programs, cultural sensitivity and harmony, and the sustaining stewardship of natural and historical resources along the route of the Expedition.
