Our Tribal Legacy Goals
The Lewis and Clark Trail Foundation embraces and supports the following tribal legacy goals:
- The protection of sacred sites, in collaboration with tribes along the trail, will be an integral part of our preservation programs.
- The unprecedented tribal participation and valuable cultural resources shared during the 2003-2006 national Bicentennial commemoration will be well cared for and archived for future generations.
- The meaningful dialogue and legacies created with the tribal nations during the Bicentennial will continue for the next 100 years.
Land Acknowledgement
Over the past few years, LCTHF and our regions have taken some time during meetings to acknowledge the folks who lived on the land we are visiting. We have said our thanks to those that came before us, and appreciate their guidance and assistance when it comes to planning and preparing.
We gratefully acknowledge Native Peoples who have lived on this land for millennia. Their dedication to the land and their communities runs deep within the hearts of those past, present and future. This dedication encourages the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation to continue developing, among diverse communities, an understanding of and appreciation for the commitment of Native Peoples to this nation and the significance of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
