The Spirit of Sacajawea
 |
The only woman and the only Native American to travel with the Lewis and Clark expedition, Sacajawea
is one of the most revered women in American history. Yet her story has been romanticized and
often misinterpreted by non-natives. The Spirit of Sacajawea examines the many controversies
of her life, how her tribes were impacted, and how they are surviving today.
