Who Was Sacagawea?
Posted Sunday, June 30, 2002; 8:31 a.m. EST
Her story has been told — and her reputation extolled — so often for so
long that fact has blended into fiction, and fiction into legend.
Mountains are named for her, and rivers and lakes. Children point proudly
to her statues while reciting heroic prose about her epic adventure. Her
supposed likeness has been memorialized in paintings, comic books, and on
dinner plates. Tribes vie for her birthright. She appears in gold on the
newest U.S. dollar coin.
Yet, scholars cannot even agree how to
correctly spell or pronounce her name: Sa-CAH-gah-WEE-ah. SACK-ah-jah-wee-ah.
Tsa-KAH-kah-wee-AH. Sah-KAH-joo-ah. She of the Lewis and Clark Expedition:
that tribal, teenage mother who carried her infant son across half a
continent — then back — 200 years ago. Translator of the Shoshoni
language. Former slave of those Lewis termed "the Minnetaree Indians."
