University of California San Diego Lewis and Clark Expedition Discussion
Initial Post
During the Lewis and Clark expedition, the explorers entered into close relationships with Native American peoples. For the forum, respond to the following question: Was Lewis and Clark’s overall treatment of Native American peoples during their expedition more positive or more negative? Provide details of both positive and negative aspects of their relationship from the text.
In your initial post you should: 1) describe whether the overall attitude of Lewis and Clark toward Native American peoples was more positive or more negative; 2) discuss details from three documents showing how they support your argument; 3) discuss details from three documents that point in the opposite direction – explaining why their contents are less important. Your post should be at least 250 words long.
Notes on Sources
You should use only the textbook, documentary, and the provided documents to respond to the question. Whenever, you make reference to a document, you should cite it – e.g. (Document A). If you use words directly from a document, you should use quotation marks. Please note that it is usually more effective to put the argument of a document in your own words, and if you do include a direct quotation, you should always explain its significance.
