Lewis fought boy ages 13 to 15, there were no warriors present. historians need to tell the truth. The Blackfeet youth, did try to steal horses. My great great great grand father was Wolf Calf, who fought Lewis at age 13. Lewis and one of his crew members stabbed to death one boy, and shot the other as he was running away.

The Blackfoot and other plains tribes were nomadic because they followed the herds of buffalo primarily, but other animals such as elk and deer as well. Without the animals they ran short on food, tools, clothing, and other essentials.

They went to war with the Blackfoot for the same reasons they warred with everyone else, horses and guns and war over hunting territory
