Did the Lewis and Clark expedition build a bond between the Americans and the Native Americans?

Lewis and Clark did build peaceful relations towards the Indians.

Lewis and Clark would give gifts and peace metals to the Indians they met. Also without the Indians help, Lewis and Clark would have never reached the Pacific.

What really help to establish the peace between the Indians and the Explorers was Sacagawea and her baby, Pompey, because the Indians that they wouldn't bring a women and an infant along if it was not in peace.
