The joint effort of many individuals and groups determined the fate of the Corps of Discovery – among them military men and scientists, a president and an enslaved man, a French-speaking boatman and American Indian women and men.
Today, more than 100 groups partner with the National Park Service to share the stories of the Expedition and to preserve the resources of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. Partners include a diverse group of federal agencies, tribal nations, state and local entities, and even private land owners. This page has been developed to provide information and assistance to all of those partners.
