Abstract

“Remembering to Forget” enacts a critical cultural politics concerning the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804–1806, Lewis and Clark's relations with Native Americans in the greater Yellowstone region, and the bicentennial commemoration of that presence in 2003 and 2004. I examine the place of Lewis and Clark in our national imagination. This is a fractured, revisionist, personal history, an attempt at a personal mythology that contests the rhetorical uses of nature, discovery, and science for political, patriotic purposes.
