Weucha (also spelled Weuche), meaning "Shake Hand," was a chief of the Yankton Sioux who met with Lewis and Clark during the council near the mouth of the James River in August 1804. He was among the Yankton leaders who received medals and gifts from the expedition and helped establish the friendly tone of the diplomatic meeting. The Yankton council was one of the most successful of the expedition's many diplomatic encounters.
