Sacagawea / Sacajawea / Sakakawea is one of the most famous women in American history but so little is known about her.

That's why Amy Mossett, a member of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation of North Dakota, has made it a goal to present the tribal perspective on the Shoshone woman who was part of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Sacagawea was Shoshone but lived with the Hidatsa Tribe after being captured at a young age. She served as an interpreter for the explorers because she knew Shoshone and Hidatsa.
