AM: Clark’s Ancestors Make Amends

In this June 26, 2011, photo provided by Laura McCallum and taken in Veneta, Ore., a group of men help turn a canoe being built by John McCallum, owner and boatwright of Applegate Boatworks. Back in 1806, explorers Lewis and Clark stole a canoe from native Americans living on the Pacific Coast. More than 200 years later, William Clark’s descendants are making amends to the Indians’ descendants by having a 36-foot replica built for them by an McCallum. Story here. (AP/Laura McCallum photo)
