Lewis & Clark
From the time the Mayflower arrived, Manifest Destiny was etched onto the consciousness of European settlers. An immutable sense of entitlement, coupled with a belief in the spiritual purpose of the mission, is what permeated every decision made by colonial and later, American officials with regards to settlement patterns, land acquisitions, and relations with Native Americans. Native Americans may have had their own "manifest destiny," which was unfortunately to be driven off ancestral lands, massacred, and their cultures collectively and systematically decimated. When Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the Corps of Discovery military expedition into Indian Lands, it was nothing but an expression of American intentions to seize all that was possible to seize. Americans felt entitled to the land, and did not value (or in many places even consider) the input, opinion, or needs of the Native Americans. Manifest Destiny had a dark side to nearly everyone but the victors, which Hoxie's collection of primary sources reveals well.
The collection of primary sources is largely comprised of written records from the American point-of-view. They indicate what perceptions of Indian Country were like prior to the expedition that began on 1804. The documents reveal that Manifest Destiny underwrote political decisions like the...
Granted, most of the political motivations for the Corps of Discovery was to disrupt the balance of powers in Europe and ensure acquisition of the western territories before the British, Spanish, or even the French. Jefferson's leadership strengthened the backbone of the new United States of America, and consequently weakened the power of individual and collective tribes of Indian Nations.
Interestingly, the readings in Hoxie's book Lewis and Clark and the Indian County also show that the Corps of Discovery mission was also undertaken for strategic and geographical surveying purposes. The documents do show that geographic surveying and the location of waterways was central to the expedition. Lewis and Clark were, however, sent to establish American presence in Indian Country. The presence of the Americans was symbolic enough of American intentions. It would be a full half-century before pioneer settlements became a viable potential future for Americans, and indeed also before the term Manifest Destiny was coined. However, the seeds of Manifest Destiny had been sprouting for decades, perhaps centuries. Lewis and Clark represented the first real sprouts of Manifest Destiny emerging in Western soil.

" (Polkinghorne, p. 4) As with Lewis before him in our discussion, Polkinghorne supplies a reason for the certainty of God's presence in scientific affairs most simply because he believes there is no other more likely or rational explanation for certain accomplishments. Like Lewis, Polkinghorne simply places beyond the grasp of human capacity a certain loosely defined category of things that must inherently be accounted for by the unseen power of

When Thomas Jefferson wrote Meriwether Louis on June 30, 1803 to instruct upon some of the conditions that the pending expedition imposed, he made several relevant considerations. The president emphasized that it was an important objective of the mission that knowledge should be acquired in regards to the people who inhabited the target regions of the expedition. He

If Clark's argument held true, then would it not be easier to simply hand the students sheets of paper with the material on it and expect them to simply read them and learn. We all know that this works for some students, but not for others. Some students need to hear the message and respond socially to it in order to learn the material. Classroom learning is not only
" Other changes comparing to 2004-2005 F.Y. are: an increase with 0, 7% in general operating revenues, and a 35% increase in student enrollment, but also an increasing expenditure with $115, 6 million, an increase of 2% for salaries.
