Project Title: Following in the Footsteps of Lewis and Clark-An Exploration of the Missouri River
Project Description: Tracing the route of Lewis, Clark, and Sakakawea, girls will camp along the banks of the Missouri River, to learn about the life of the river, and expand on their knowledge by “river mucking,” to help them understand the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Girls will learn from interpretive experts about the lives of Native Americans and their existence on the Missouri. The project concludes with an outreach program held for two six-week sessions on the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation, where girl members of the tribe will learn how their ancestors were connected to the river, and how they can maintain that connection. At each location, girls will pick-up trash as part of their community service project, which will aid in the beautification of the banks and surrounding areas.
