Best Answer

The first time Lewis and Clark encountered Native Americans was on August 2, 1804. An interpreter, Mr. Fairfong, and a group of Oto Indians entered camp. Among them were six chiefs, and being that this was the first group they encountered things were tense. As Clark describes it, "Every man on his guard and ready for anything." However the next day the group returned and Lewis and Clark gave them peace medals, a flag, and some clothes to give to their chief. In return, the "chief all delivered a speech acknowledging their approbation to the speech and promising to pursue the advice and directions given them. They were happy to find that they had fathers which might be depended on, etc.
