Calumet Bluff
Calumet Bluff is a hill about 180 feet high overlooking the Missouri River in Cedar County, Nebraska where the Lewis and Clark Expedition held its first council with the Sioux Indians for two days in 1804. Today the Bluff forms the right or south abutment of the Gavins Point Dam.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/mwro/lewis-clark-lake/sec7.htm )〕 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains the Lewis and Clark Visitor Center on Calumet Bluff next to the dam.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visitnebraska.com/component/myplanner/detail/attractions/2000435 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nwo.usace.army.mil/Missions/DamandLakeProjects/MissouriRiverDams/GavinsPoint.aspx )〕
==History==
The Lewis and Clark Expedition's Corps of Discovery camped below Calumet Bluff during the period of August 28 to September 1, 1804. In his diary, Clark noted the bluff was "Called White Bear Clift, one of those animals haveing been killed in a whole in it()."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://lewisandclarkjournals.unl.edu/read/?_xmlsrc=1804-09-01.xml&_xslsrc=LCstyles.xsl )〕 The bluff is often called "White Bear Cliff" in historical records, but is now more commonly called Calumet Bluffs. A "Calumet" refers to a peace pipe, It does not mean a Golden Eagle.〔Lewis and Clark Journal, August 21, 1805 from Thomas O'Neill and I have been telling the Park Service this for about 15 years!〕 To this day, the bluff matches Lewis and Clark's description of it as "composed of a yellowish red, and brownish clay as hard as chalk."
It was at Calumet Bluff that the Corps had their first encounter with the Yankton-Sioux Tribe on August 30, 1804, meeting with them for two days. Folklore claims that a male child was born into the Yankton tribe while Lewis and Clark were meeting with them on Calumet Bluff. When he heard this, Capt. Lewis had the child brought forward and wrapped him in an American flag. Lewis predicted that the boy would become a leader of his tribe and a friend of the white men. The child grew up to be the famous Yankton Chief Padaniapapi, or "Struck By The Ree."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mri.usd.edu/watertrail/culturalsites/calumetbluff.html )〕
