WHO WAS SACAGEWEA?
In the year 2000, te United States issued a new doller coin. Its “heads” side shows an American-Indian woman .She is carrying her baby.
Who is this young mother? Her name was Sacagawea (Sa KA ga WE a).two hundred years ago, she went with the Lewis and Clark expedition. The explorers traveled across the American Northwest.
When the explorers were hungry, she foundfood.When they met indians along the way, she acted as translator. Thanks to Sacagaweas help, the expidition was a success.
The Lewis and Clark expidition changed American History. It helped the United States settle a huge region.This area included what became the states of Idaho , Washington, and Oregon.
Sacagawea was only 16 years old when she crossed America with her baby on her back. This is hertrue story.
CHAPTER 1
A SHOSHONE GIRL
Sacagawea ws born in what is now Idaho, in 1789 or 1790. She was a Shoshone (Sho SHO nee) Indian.Her tribe lived along the Bitterroot Range of the Rocky Mountains. They often camped near the Snake River, so they were also called the Snake Indians.
As a child, she had many different names. This wascommon for young Indians. In time, she became known as Sacagawea.Sacaga means “bird” and wea means “woman” so her name means Bird Woman.She may have been called Bird Woman because she was small and moved quickly like a bird.
Sacagawea had an older brother named Cameahwait (Ka ME ah wait). She also had another brother and a sister. Her family lived in a tent called a tipi. The Shoshone were peacefulwanderers.
Between May and September the Shoshone camped along streams.There they fished for salmon and trout. In the fall, they packed their tipis onto horses. They then headed east to the plains of present-day Montana. There the men hunted buffalo, riding on horseback and using bows and arrows.
The weather was often very cold.So Shoshone men, woman, and children needed lots of warmclothing. Sacagawea wore a dress and legging that were made of deer skins. Over these went a knee-length robe made from buffalo hides. The robe became her blanket at night
Her winter shoes were made from buffalo hide with the woolly hair on the inside.Her clothes were decorated with beads and pocupine quills.
BUFFALO HUNTING
The American bison is also called theAmerican buffalo. A large male bison is about the size of a small minivan.A t the time of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, more than 50,000,000 bison roamed the Great Plain.
The Shoshone and the other Plains Indians depended on the for food, warm clothing, and shelter.Their tipis were made from buffalo hide.
Whites began to settle on the Great Plains shortly after the expidition. TheUnited States government tried to force the Indian tribes to live in reservations-smaller pieces of land.
In the late 1800s, white buffalo hunters killed all but 550 American bison. Having lost their food and shelter, the Indians moved to the reservations.
During the mid-1900s, some bison were returned to the prairies. Today 150,000 bison live on ranches and in national parksin the United Statesand Canada.
The Shoshone did not have schools. Sacagawea learned by working beside the woman of her tribe.She collected wood for fires. She helped make moccasins, clothing, and tipis. She picked berries and dug roots for her family to eat.She learned to make medicines from plants.
The village elders taught Sacagawea the beliefs of her people .She heard how the Creator made the world andCoyote made human beings.She was warned about the Little People, who shot invisible arrows. For fun, she ran races and juggled mud balls with her friends.
Like all Shoshone girls, Sacagawea was promised to an older man. She would become his wife when she turned 13 or 14. But in 1800, her life changed forever.
Sacagawea wasjust 10 or 11 at the time. Her tribe was camped near what is now...
