Meriwether Lewis was in charge and William Clark came as his assistant. But the Lewis And Clark Expedition is still know as The Lewis And Clark Expedition.
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.

No they did not. The teton Sioux and the corps of discovery had several arguements that were close to escalating to a physical fight, but they all were stopped before things got drastic.
When Lewis and Clark encountered the Teton Sioux Indians in southern South Dakota in September 1804, the meeting was initially tense and marked by misunderstandings. The Teton Sioux, led by Chief Black Buffalo, were wary of the explorers and their intentions, leading to a standoff. After some negotiation and displays of respect, the two groups reached a temporary agreement, allowing the expedition to continue while highlighting the complexities of their interactions and the differing cultural perspectives. This encounter underscored both the challenges and opportunities of westward expansion during that era.

The word Teton comes from the Lakota term tetonwan, meaning "dwellers on the Plains", so the Teton Sioux are the seven tribes of the Sioux living on the Great Plains:HunkpapaOglalaMinneconjouBruleTwo KettleSans ArcBlackfoot Sioux (not the same as the Blackfoot people of the far northern Plains)
