MMIW: Sacajwea

 

Another name that was lost in time.

To be honest,

the only time I’ve heard

of Sacajeewa was in a book

“Streams to the River, Rivers to the Sea”

By Scott O’Dell.

 

It was in her point of view,

but it was watered down,

because Scott O’Dell

is a children/teens author.

 

After that,

it was the dollar coin.

A coin dedicated to her,

for her voyage with Lewis and Clark.

 

But again,

her story wasn’t told.

 

She was only in her teens,

forced into an abusive marriage.

Having kids during the expedition.

She gave her last child to Lewis,

left to live her last few days alone.
