Thanks again to those that took the time to respond. =20
I really appreciate it! Susan
My original query read:
Dear Netters-
Can anyone recommend any worthwhile videos about Lewis & Clark for a middle
school population? Or, if you have seen the IMAX Lewis & Clark film, please
let me know if you think that it is a worthwhile experience to spend half a
day to travel to and from this showing instead of watching a video in our ow=
n
"home." I will post a hit. Please respond to the address below.

I recommend the Ken Burns PBS video about Lewis and Clark.
=C3=98 The 23-minute video, =C2=B3Experiences and Discovery - Plants a=
nd Animals=20
from the
Lewis & Clark Expedition of North Dakota, The video was funded with grants
from the National Park Service-Knife River Indian Villages National Historic
Site; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bismarck Office; U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Garrison Project; BNI Coal, BP Mandan Refinery; Great River
Energy-Coal Creek and Stanton; and MDU Resources. The ND Game and Fish

National Geographic has a video and a DVD of Lewis and Clark. I ordered it
but have not seen it yet. But their stuff is usually good.

Susan, Missouri Department of Conservation produced a wonderful Lewis and
Clark video about a year ago. "Lewis and Clark, Corps of Discovery in
Missouri" concentrates more on the Missouri part of the journey, but gives a
good feel for start of journey and really, for the entire trip. It is
produced by Missouri Outdoors, Missouri Department of Conservation in
Jefferson City, MO
The name of the video is "Lewis & Clark: Corps of Discovery in Missouri." It=

may have a subtitle of "We Proceeded On." Runtime of 27 minutes.

For those of us in Missouri schools, it was free, but I'm guessing it's abou=

$30.00, if that much.
There is another video, "Missouri's Tallgrass Prairie: An American Original"=

which tells a lot about the vegetation of the tallgrass prairies, which is=20
what Lewis and Clark would have seen.
Hope this helps. We did "Captain's Dog" by Roland Smith as a summer school=20
