Clark: March 16, 1805
On a cloudy Saturday with a southeast wind, the day at Fort Mandan was relatively quiet. A Native visitor became upset with expedition member Whitehouse, who had struck his hand with a spoon while eating to correct his behavior. Later, Mr. Garrow demonstrated to the captains the technique used by the Arikara people for crafting their large beads, offering the explorers a glimpse into Native craftsmanship and trade goods of the region.
