When Lewis and Clark traveled through South Dakota in 1804 as part of the Corp of Discovery expedition it almost came to an early and tragic end on the banks of the Missouri River. A major confrontation between Lewis and Clark's group and the Teton Sioux tribe teetered on the brink of becoming seriously hostile.

We join Jay Vogt, retired director of the South Dakota State Historical Society, in Fischers Lilly Park in Pierre, where the confrontation took place, then we meet up with Boyd Gourneau, chairman of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. Much of what we know about the expedition came from the journals kept by Lewis, Clark and other members of the crew. But there are always two sides to a story.

In South Dakota, hunting and fishing traditions run deep and are woven into the very fabric of the state's culture. Folks come from across the country to experience the pheasant-hunting capital of the world and to cast for walleye in the state's serene rivers and lakes.

Join us at Thunderstik Lodge, South Dakota's most luxurious pheasant-hunting retreat, for a hunt with veteran guides and some of the happiest labradors you'll ever meet. Then we hit the water, jigging for walleye and saugeye on the wide Missouri River and beneath the hydroelectric dam at Lake Francis Case.

But it's not just about hunting and fishing — it's about sportsmanship, storytelling, respect for nature and sharing the day's abundance.
