 In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the incredible story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, officially known as the Corps of Discovery. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to lead an expedition to find a water route to the Pacific and document the uncharted West. The journey covered over 8,000 miles, crossing the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Columbia River. They encountered dozens of Native American tribes, from the Mandan and Hidatsa to the Nez Perce and Shoshone, and relied on key individuals like Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who served as interpreter and guide. The expedition faced grizzly bears, harsh winters, and treacherous terrain. They returned with detailed maps, scientific specimens, and knowledge that shaped America's expansion. This episode dives into the challenges, the human drama, and the legacy of their journey, including controversies over their treatment of Native peoples and the environmental impact of their discoveries.
