In that same document, he also stated “You are to live in peace with all the white men.neither wage war against the red men your neighbors,” He then said “and in future ages will make you outnumber the trees of the forest.” Lewis intended to let the Indians live and reside with other Americans in peace. Second, Lewis and Clark were respectful to the Indigenous people they encountered on their expedition because they only attacked back when necessary.
