This chapter details the journey of Lewis and Clark from October 1804 to April 1805 as they interacted with various Native American tribes.

They spent the winter in North Dakota, embracing local customs like the Mandans' Buffalo Dance, and documented extraordinary natural phenomena like the Northern Lights. The hardships included extreme cold and the need for medical intervention due to frostbite.
