As an eleven or twelve year old Lemhi Shoshone girl living in present-day Idaho, Sacagawea was likely taken captive in a Hidatsa raiding party.
She arrived at the Knife River Indian Villages where French-Canadian fur trader Toussaint Charbonneau took her as a wife.Jun 5, 2020

Charbonneau gave her to Lewis & Clark as an interpretor.
Charbonneau should be melted down.

To Rose, I appreciate her feeelings, however I would regret never knowing of this great Native heroine of early US history.
Her story should be told among every woman & girls & men & boys groups.

Her role in 1804 American history is far greater than simply reaching the Pacific Coast. It is a necessary tale in many ways to be told.
Erasing Sakakawea's truth would serve no one.
Much is to be learned, it just has to be taught.
