The Ethnography of Lewis and Clark - Native American Objects and the American Quest for Commerce and Science

The Ethnography of Lewis and Clark: Native American Objects and the American Quest for Commerce and Science is a new online exhibit presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. The exhibit displays ethnographic objects collected by Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and the Corps of North West Discovery during their two-year expedition for both commercial advantage and scientific knowledge." The Peabody collection includes rare objects of Native American material culture such as a painted buffalo robe, a calumet, a woven hat, a hemp basket, and hide clothing, among other invaluable items. Each item is cataloged, and the site provides images and a detailed description." (Copyright Internet Scout Project, 1994-2002. http://scout.cs.wisc.edu)
