The goal was never to live and coexist with Native nations, but rather to dominate Native nations.
That's how American policy worked.
Despite Jefferson's curiosity about Native people, right, that's, you know, his idea is, right, the American civilization, heavy quotes on that, right,
has to succeed in the end.
So from my perspective, the core of discovery is an invasion.
And it's also complicated, right?
Because if you put yourself in the position of those 23 soldiers, those American soldiers, for instance, traveling across lands they, you know, never had encountered.
Like, you also can see the bravery, the persistence, et cetera, of the individual men who went on that journey.
And I don't want to take that away from their story, right?
And it's just those tensions that exist.
Right.
It can be a story of bravery at the same time that it's also a story of colonial dispossession.
Look, I can get on a soapbox with the best of them.
It is.
And it.
Represents for me how I think we could flip some of these narratives where Native people become passive...
victims in their own story where Native people are acted on, where Native people are pushed to the sideline, where Native people are simply discovered rather than the ones who are doing the discovering, who are the intellectual equals of non-Native people.
When you look at the Lewis and Clark narrative through Sacagawea's lens, it is a story of contradictions.
It's a story of...
hope and survival.
