Moncacht-Apé, a Native American explorer, may have traveled from near the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Atlantic, and from there to the coast of the Pacific Northwest, sometime in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century.

This purported transcontinental journey is related by Antoine-Simon Le Page du Pratz, a French ethnographer who lived for a period in Louisiana, where he claimed to have met Moncacht-Apé and recorded the details of his travels.

The route of Lewis and Clark's expedition, up the Missouri River to its headwaters, then on to the Pacific via the Columbia River, may have been influenced by the purported transcontinental journey of Moncacht-Apé by the same route about a century before.
