Jefferson introduces an act to Congress to establish trading houses among the Indians and persuade them to take on an agricultural lifestyle deemed less expansionary and more civilized. The President also suggests deploying officers to explore the Missouri River area to establish trading relations with the groups of Indians situated further west, resulting in the Lewis and Clark expeditions.
