Members of the Lewis and Clark expedition called her Sacagawea, pronounced “Sah-kah-juh-WEAH." Her name translates from the Hidatsa language as “Bird Woman." She is arguably one of the most fascinating, heavily mythologized but essentially unknown women in U.S. history. Join historian Dr. Keith Edgerton as he sheds light on the true story of Sacagawea and her role in the Lewis and Clark expedition, one of the most important expeditions in American history. Dr. Edgerton invites you to explore the layers of myth and reality surrounding Sacagawea, as well as how her story can help us understand Native American women across generations.
