Jack Gladstone narrates the official Lewis and Clark Expedition film. Jack Gladstone is a singer, songwriter and storyteller who grew up immersed in the rich oral tradition of the American West. Many of the stories Jack shares were related to him by his Blackfeet grandmother. She recounted the stories of her life and the mythology of their Blackfeet Indian people. His great, great grandfather Red Crow, chief of the Blood Tribe, was a great warrior and orator. Another grandfather, William Gladstone, was a carpenter who helped build Montana's Fort Benton and Alberta's Fort Whoop Up.
