Hannah Completes Her Shoshone Village Project
Sacagawea's Shoshone Village
For the last few sessions of our Creative Workshop, we have all been helping Hannah with this paper representation of Sacagawea's home village.
Sacagawea, a Shoshone Native American acted as interpreter for the Lewis and Clarke discovery expedition, crossing the Shining Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. She was able to obtain horses from her home village which made the difficult journey possible.
We have learned with Hannah that Sacagawea, The Bird Woman, was only about sixteen years of age when she and her infant son and trapper husband joined the famous Lewis and Clark expedition.
Beside being alert, brave and strong, Sacagawea is known as the first woman in America to vote since it is recorded that she voted for a place to spend the winter as an equal with the mostly military men of the mission.
She died of a fever in 1812 at the age of twenty-five, several years after the successful completion of the journey.
