The Story of Sakakawea
Who is she? Sakakawea? Sacagawea? Sakajawea? Even
Lewis and Clark used several different spellings, which probably caused
today’s confusion. In North Dakota, we use Sakakawea because her
Hidatsa name was Bird Woman. The Hidatsa word for bird is Sakaka and
for woman is wea. In any case, she’d probably marvel at all the fuss.
But could she ever have dreamed that she would someday be remembered
with more statues than any other woman in America?
