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.

This was my first TB find, and I did not do the research I should have done before taking it from the cache I found it in, so it was a lucky thing I had a family vacation to Portland planned soon after I picked up Sacagawea & Pomp. Rather than go right for the final goal of taking them to the Sacagawea statue in Portland, I thought it would be better to drop them off along the Lewis and Clark Trail so they could visit more sites. I did a little research and discovered an appropriate cache at Hat Rock State Park. Hat Rock was the first distinctive landmark passed by the Lewis and Clark Expedition on their journey down the Columbia. It was named by Clark on October 19, 1805.
