Lewis and Clark first encountered Native Americans on October 16, 1804, near present-day Pierre, South Dakota. This encounter took place during their exploration of the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory. The Native American tribe they met was the Teton Sioux, also known as the Lakota Sioux. This interaction marked a significant moment in their expedition as they navigated through unfamiliar territories and cultures.
