Today and forever this official recognition of Sacagawea and Indian people in general, as essential supports and companionships to the expedition, will accelerate the much needed healing process taking place amongst many Native people accross North America. Because the Tamarak® Walking Stick is also a support and companion, it can be a true symbol to acknowledge this bicentennial and this healing process.

In North America when new trails such as the American Discovery Trail and the Trans Canada Trail, and old trails such as the Lewis and Clark Trail are memorialized they are given renewed significance for those who travel them today.

 When pristine places are set aside such as National Parks and Wilderness Areas, we are attempting   to keep the land as it was when only native people dwelt there. They were its 'first stewards'. Many   trails we now call Historic Trails were originally theirs.
