We the BuckHunters have reached the end of the Portage. We now had a big challenge ahead of us, the mountains. To get across the mountains we would need horses. We called the Shoshone Tribe and asked to buy some of their horses. Chief Cameahwait, which we now had discovered was Sacagweas brother, said "You can have the 20 horses that you want but, the price went up. We want pistols, knives, and some of your ammunition." Would we trade our
pistols, knives, and our ammunition?
We decided to keep our weapons and the horses that we have now because who knows what was laying ahead of us. We thought this decision was necessary because not everyone needs a horse. We also thought that if we needed to we could double up so that there are two people on a horse.
Lewis and Clark made a different decision. They decided to sell their weapons to the Shoshone Indians for their horses.
The decisions that we made was different because Lewis and Clark traded their weapons for the horses, when our Corps decided to keep our weapons and the few horses they had.
