But like, I want to negotiate and meet with them in the White House and I want to show them our power.
Yeah, that's a lot of the price tag came from this because dozens of native people like this does not show up in the normal stories about Lewis and Clark.
But while Lewis and Clark are heading west, dozens of native leaders authorized by Lewis and Clark are heading east.
So instead of just like telling everybody's story, I zoomed in on this one guy, Biahito.
So he goes from what's now South Dakota all the way down the Missouri River to St.
Louis, then makes it all the way to Washington, D.C.
How do we know this?
Because there are newspaper accounts recording this at all the time.
Like he would show up in towns and the towns would be like, this is a big deal.
Let's write about this.
And then once he makes it to Washington, D.C., people in Washington, D.C.
are writing about him in their journals.
But the coolest thing, and this was only discovered a couple of years ago.
I didn't find this.
Another scholar found this.
But in France, they found a map that Biahito had made of the Missouri River and the Rocky Mountains.
And on that map, he records not just how many nations there were there, but also where he met with Lewis and Clark.
And so Biahito, we know from Jefferson's papers that he met with Jefferson at least twice in the White House.
And so he probably brought this map with it and showed it to Jefferson.
And so it was interesting.
