Equip for Equality, a Chicago-based nonprofit for the disabled, has twice accused Chester of making false entries in Yoder's records; Chester staff allegedly lied in the 1999 reports by saying Yoder had called an Equip for Equality office and threatened violence.

"We're not going to repeat the Columbus debacle," says Michelle Bussard, executive director of the National Council of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. The nonprofit group has assembled a 30-member Circle of Tribal Advisers to promote Indian participation, and the National Park Service has chosen a Mandan-Hidatsa, Gerard Baker, to be superintendent of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. His traveling exhibit, "Corps of Discovery II," will be "a tent of many...
