Only one is known to have died.

On the expedition's return trip in 1806, Lewis travelled separately from Clark. Along with just six men, Lewis met a party of Blackfoot and camped with them.

An alarm was raised in the night and the Blackfoot were discovered attempting to steal the party's rifles - one native was stabbed to death and another wounded by a shot fired by Lewis himself (it is not recorded if this second Blackfoot died). For decades after this incident the Blackfoot tribes made war upon all the pioneers who came westwards through their territory.
