Meeting the Shoshone

August 13, 1805. Today we saw three Shoshone women and we went to them. One fled and the other two got down on their knees. to their suprise we started to give them gifts and beads. They took us to their chief, Cameawait, and we gave him gifts and we asked him to come with us to the boats. Eventually he said yes and he came with us, but he thought it was a trap, same with all the people who were staying at the village.
