Sacagawea and Pomp Goal
Pocahontas enjoys native American history so this TB is a natural. Sacagawea & Pomp would like to travel the Lewis and Clark trail, they are headed for the Fort Mandan area of North Dakota.
Made it to Fort Mandan!!! First Goal Has Been Accomplished!!!
NEW GOAL
The general goal for Sacagawea and Pomp is to travel back westward visiting as many Lewis and Clark sites as possible. Specifically we would like them to:
1. Stop by Fort Clatsop National Memorial.
2. Be photographed in Portland, OR with the Sacagawea statue there.
In 1800, when she was about 12 years old, Sacagawea was kidnapped by a war party of Hidatsa Indians -- enemies of her people, the Shoshones. She was taken from her Rocky Mountain homeland, located in today’s Idaho, to the Hidatsa-Mandan villages near modern Bismarck, North Dakota. There, she was later sold as a slave to Toussaint Charbonneau, a French-Canadian fur trader who claimed Sacagawea and another Shoshone woman as his “wives.” In November 1804, the Corps of Discovery arrived at the Hidatsa-Mandan villages and soon built a fort nearby. In the American Fort Mandan on February 11, 1805, Sacagawea gave birth to her son Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, who would soon become America’s youngest explorer.
Captain Clark wrote that the “great object was to make every letter sound” in recording Indian words in their journals. The pronunciation of Sacagawea’s name in years since the expedtion as “Sacajawea” does not match “Sah-cah' gah-we-ah,” the way that the captains recorded the young Shoshone woman’s name. In fact, her name -- made by joining the Hidatsa words for bird (“sacaga”) and woman (“wea”) -- was written 17 times by the explorers in their journals and on their maps, and each time it was spelled with a “g” in the third syllable.
Read more about Sacagawea and the debate over how her name is spelled from the State Historical Society of North Dakota.

Hmmm ... not sure helicopters were on her list of things to see especially since here she is some 200 yrs later back where it all started and there is so much to see .. so much of her travels and accomplishments recorded in so many ways around here. She might have to do a little touring ....
