Meetings Quarterly- Successful Historic Meetings
August 1805, the first successful meeting happened in Big Sky Country.
Captain Meriwether Lewis and members of the Corps of Discovery, fresh from a camp at the
headwaters of the Missouri River at Three Forks, near Big Sky, Montana, were stumped in their
quest to find a river to the sea by the daunting Bitterroot Mountains before them. They needed
horses and a guide to lead the way. “If we do not find [The Shoshone- superb horsemen and
brave warriors who once hunted bison on the abundant plains. ].” wrote Lewis in his journal, “I
fear the successful issue of our voyage will be very doubtful.”
It was Sacagawea, a young Shoshone woman travelling with Lewis and Clark, laid the
foundation for an auspicious meeting between the two groups. Recognizing the rocks, the river
and the land of her childhood, she guided the Corps to her people and in joy and surprise
reconnected with her brother, Chief Cameahwait. Convinced of the Corps’ peaceful intent, the
Shoshone welcomed the first white men they had ever seen to their village. A family reunited, a
deal struck, the Corps of Discovery moved on to the Pacific and the Shoshone returned to the
buffalo rich plains.
Just as the Corps of Discovery and the Shoshone tribe accomplished their goals by meeting all
those years ago, you will find successful gatherings happening every day at Big Sky Resort. A
visit to the Big Sky Resort, located in the heart of the Montana’s majestic Mountains, is your
