Montana

Near the southwestern part of Montana, sometime around August, Lewis and Clark met the first Indians with their horses. So they decided to go to the camp. As they reached the Indian camp Sacagawea discovered that the head chief of the tribe was her brother –Cameahwait. Lewis and Clark bought nine horses and a mule and made sure they had a guide to take them through the Lemhi pass into the territory of the flathead or Salish Indians. It was a significant thing for them to finally meet Indians, and thanks to Sacagawea who was with them they understand and dialect with them.
