 Our group chose Meriwether Lewis to be celebrated on May 14 th, the anniversary of when he set out on his journey in We chose him because he was picked by the President and had to take many courses and trainings to be chosen. We felt that he had a lot of experience and showed great bravery when exploring the west. We felt that he stood out because he was the one who set up all the supplies for the trip and made communication with Native American tribes, thus meeting Sacagawea who made the trip possible.  I did not end up changing my mind on wanting Sacagawea to be celebrated because I still feel as though the whole trip would have not been successful if she had not been guiding it. 9
