Rendezvous Prairie du Chien

Blackfoot from the Lewis and Clark Expedition lounging on his bearskin rug in his tepee. He made all of clothing. He trapper all his animals and skinned and tanned them. His dog Bear was along with him on the Lewis and Clark wandering. Newfoundlands were the actual type of dogs taken with the trappers and guides when they led the Lewis and Clark folks.
