Descendants of Captain Clark claim Northwest roots
The article discusses Indian claims of descent from Captain Lewis Clark and notes skepticism from historians. It cites Byron Defenbach and Major Peter Rowan, recounting Ochanee of the Flathead who recalled Clark's visit in 1804, and the lineage through a Flathead woman leading to Zachariah Sacalee and his son, suggesting the Clark line may still endure on the Flathead reservation near Flathead Lake.
