National Women's History Month - As part of Women's History Month we look at the important
roles Sacagawea played in the success of the expedition and the
important legacy her life provides us today.
Kidnapped
as a child,
Sacajaweahad
been torn away from her people, so
finding the Shoshone meant more than the
purchase of horses -- it meant returning
to the land of her birth, for Sacajawea
was a Lemhi. Told by Arlie Neskahi
Rozina Georgetells
of her great great great great aunt,
Sacajawea, who was captured as a child,
and then reunited with her family as a
member of the Lewis and Clark
Expedition.
