Geocache Description:


(1790?-1812?) ­ Born to the Lemhi tribe of Shoshone Indians in present-day Idaho in about 1788, Sacagawea would grow up to be a near-legendary figure for her indispensable role on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The daughter of Shoshone chief, she was kidnapped after a battle with Hidatsa Indians that resulted in the deaths of four Shoshone warriors, as well as several women and children. oral traditions of the Eastern Shoshone, say that Sacagawea rejoined the Shoshone people in 1871 on their Wind River reservation in Wyoming where she was known as Porivo or Lost Woman. After living a long life, she died at nearly 100 years of age in 1884 and was buried in what is now called Sacajawea Cemetery near Fort Washakie, Wyoming.
