Book Review — Our Story of Eagle Woman, Sacagawea: They Got It Wrong

Over several decades, when I have encountered my friend Gerard Baker of the Mandan-Hidatsa, he has invariably said, “You know Sacagawea was Hidatsa.” The Hidatsa (Lewis and Clark’s Minnetarees) believe that Sacagawea was always Hidatsa, that she had an important relationship with the Shoshone, but that she was not genetically Shoshone. The Hidatsa believe that Lewis and Clark “got it wrong.” Now they have published a book to make their case, Our Story of Eagle Woman: Sacagawea: They Got it Wrong.

This is a very difficult book to review for several reasons. First, its argument, its insistence, contradicts everything we thought we knew about Sacagawea. We thought Sacagawea was born Shoshone, captured by the Hidatsa, acculturated into the Hidatsa world, given a Hidatsa name (Bird Woman), and that Lewis and Clark took her with them in April to help secure horses from her natal people, the Shoshone. According to Gerard Baker, the Sacagawea Project Board, Calvin Grinnell, Bernard Fox, Carol Fredericks Newman, and Wanda Fox Sheppard, solid Hidatsa oral tradition confirms that she was Hidatsa all along, and the Lewis and Clark world needs to accept the truth and correct the record.

Sacagawea: A Biography

Description

Sacagawea, kidnapped as an adolescent and sold as a slave to a French-Canadian fur trader, is best known for her role as interpreter and symbol of goodwill for Lewis and Clark on their journey west. Despite her pivotal role in this era of Manifest Destiny and blending cultures, much of her ensuing life story remains uncertain, thanks to a larger focus on Lewis and Clark themselves, as well as the perpetuation of legend over fact in several 20th century movies and publications. This concise and readable biography offers an objective treatment of Sacagawea&#;s childhood, her journey with Lewis and Clark, her later life, her explorer son, and the mythology surrounding her death and legacy. As the Lewis and Clark expedition is heavily represented in the U.S. history curriculum, this much-needed volume fills a gap on the reference shelves and supplements American history and Native American studies curricula. Lively narrative chapters are supplemented with a timeline, photos, print and nonprint bibliography, and an index.
