THE STEWARDS
The Legacy Keepers
Daniel C. Green
Daniel C. Green is a journalist, commentator and writer and the founder of The Eagle Eye — a conservative media platform dedicated to defending American heritage and values. Known on X as @TheEagleyeNews, he is now channeling that work into creating lasting monuments that honor America's history and inspire future generations.
On the 24th of May, 2026, Mr. Green published the initial proposal for two 300-foot statues of Lewis and Clark. Within days it had drawn more than 1.4 million views on X, amplification from Mario Nawfal, interest from the French foundry Atelier Missor and outreach from lawmakers. He is personally spearheading the effort.
Jill Clark
Jill Clark is a designer, illustrator, author and passionate advocate for preserving American history. As a descendant of the Clark family—which includes legendary explorer William Clark—history is more than an interest to her; it is part of her heritage. She has spent her life creating and working with companies rooted in her love of history, art and storytelling. When the vision for the Lewis & Clark Memorial was born, Jill immediately felt called to help bring it to life.
