Tribal Eligibility
All forty tribes who were members of the Circle of Tribal Advisors of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial (COTA) at the conclusion of the 2003-2006 bicentennial commemoration are eligible, whether federally recognized or unrecognized.
All federally recognized tribes along the historic route of the 1804-1806 Lewis and Clark Expedition whose ancestors experienced contact with the expedition, or whose ancestral homelands were traversed by the expedition, or whose tribal customs or languages were recorded by the expedition, are eligible, including tribes who were removed to Oklahoma subsequent to the expedition.
Eastern Legacy Tribes
Currently, the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail includes the states of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon & Washington. If, by future Congressional action, states east of Illinois become part of the Lewis & Clark Trail, any federally recognized tribe along the Trail within those states will become eligible.
