   It's a sign that the national traveling exhibit doesn't just focus on the Corps of Discovery, which Meriweather Lewis and William Clark led through the West from 1803-06 on behalf of the white, European Americans who had settled the eastern half of the United States.
   
   Rather, this exhibit puts just as much emphasis on the Native people Lewis and Clark met along the way.
   ...
   "This time we want to tell a more complete story about the history, culture and lifeways that existed before Lewis and Clark, that still exist today and that will continue in the future."
   ...
   They recorded the striking images not long after Lewis and Clark reported back to President Thomas Jefferson.
   ...
   Ironically, Crisler said, Lewis and Clark and their party probably would have died - or at least had to abandon their journey - if not for help from Native Americans.
   ...
   All stops have been on or close to the route actually covered by Lewis and Clark.
   ...

   The National Parks Service employee previously worked as an education specialist with the Lewis and Clark Trail exhibit in Omaha, Neb., and before that in San Antonio and on Mount Rainier.An Alabama native, he also served in Kenya with the Peace Corps.
   
   He said he has learned that people in different places emphasize different aspects of history, he said.Each region and even each town has a unique culture."But deep down, people all want the same thing: to raise their families with a good, safe environment," he said.
   
   Everywhere he goes, residents also share a curiosity about other cultures.People have welcomed the Corps II staff at every stop, he said.They have been eager to learn what it has to offer, as well as to share their own tales.
   
   Corps II includes the exhibit tent, which visitors can tour by checking out headphones and following a 35-minute recording; a replica of the keel boat Lewis and Clark used to travel the Missouri River from St. Louis to Fort Mandan; a Plains Indian teepee; a tent filled with ongoing demonstrations and activities; and the Tent of Many Voices, with presentations on various subjects every hour.
