Lee Fjellanger Does Mark Donaho really think that any program funded
by the federal government should be funded forever?

History is what it is. From the Civil War blood shed to slavery or
War. Ugly stains left on our country is truth. The truth should not be
hidden or rewritten. Preserving historical events as fact is not
intended to offend anyone. However, bringing the truth of the ugly and
wrong to light is the best defense that it will never be repeated in
one nation under God.
- The Native American Scenic Byway guides visitors through four of the
reservations of the Lakota Sioux. It encompasses many of the historic
sites of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. The program has been eliminated
after a 20-year run.
- The Lewis & Clark Herbarium at the Academy of Natural Sciences of
Drexel University houses almost all the plant specimens collected by
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on their journey, including many
newly discovered species. The federal program Save America’s Treasures
paid to rehouse the collection to modern standards.
– Completely eliminated: The National Heritage and Scenic Byways
program. Among many others, this ends support for the Heritage Area
around the Knife River Village in North Dakota, where Lewis and Clark
met Sacagawea, eliminated the chance for a National Heritage Area to
preserve Lewis and Clark’s legacy on the West Coast, and ends support
for scenic byways along the Lewis & Clark Trail including the Native
American Scenic Byway in the Dakotas and the Northwest Passage Scenic
Byway in Idaho — not to mention the Natchez Trace.

A number of Lewis & Clark sites are seriously endangered. Just to cite
the most recent example, a high-ranking official of the National Park
Service warned that Lewis & Clark National Park in Astoria (site of Fort Clatsop) will be forever changed if a proposed terminal for liquified
natural gas is built just three miles away. Visitors will no longer be
able to experience the Lower Columbia River with a sense of the beauty
that Lewis and Clark experienced.

m sorry ). I came across this article ...👇👇
Consider the current state of this nation’s commitment to our own
heritage (thanks to American Heritage magazine for their great editorial roundup of this information):

Extra info I m affraid to post ....
– Completely eliminated: Save America’s Treasures, the program that
saved countless American courthouses, document collections, battleships, historic homes, Native American sites like the Acoma Pueblo, and
artifacts like the Gettysburg Cyclorama, the Rosa Parks bus, and the Star-Spangled Banner itself.
– Completely eliminated: Preserve America, which helped small towns and ethnic neighborhoods plan how to preserve entire areas of historic
character, developing programs like walking tours, markers, and historic drives.
– Completely eliminated: Teaching American History, which provides
grants for public school teachers to undertake intensive study to better teach the American story to kids.
– Completely eliminated: We the People, which funded teacher training, purchased classic books and art for public schools, and sponsored the National Digital Newspaper Project, a program to digitize and put online historic American newspapers from the 1880s to the 1920s.
The elimination of federal funding for historic preservation says it all about the nation’s current level of commitment to its heritage — states are starving their historic parks and monuments with reduced hours and maintenance, and cutting back on access and preservation of historic archives. Though the battle is ongoing, budget cuts in Georgia aim to eliminate their state archives altogether, ending public access to
hundreds of years’ worth of historical documents and artifacts.
A number of Lewis & Clark sites are seriously endangered. Just to cite
the most recent example, a high-ranking official of the National Park

What do we think? It’s all up to us, and we can’t count on any help from Uncle Sam this time around. If I ever saw a time when “think global, act local” applied, it is in the siege now underway on America’s historical treasures. What books will go unresearched and unwritten when archives
are shuttered? What architectural treasures will be neglected, burned,
or razed for short-term economic gain? Which of the post-war buildings,
now aging themselves, will be labeled monstrosities and meet the fate of their Victorian predecessors? What sites of the Lewis & Clark Trail will
be despoiled? What photographs will represent our era in a future Lost America? What will our children and grandchildren say about us?
