Sacagawea: Lewis and Clark's Shoshone Interpreter   

Long before asphalt and concrete were used to create roads, people used waterways for a quicker and more efficient means of transportation than trails.  One of our country's most famous river trips was the Lewis and Clark Expedition.  

Living historian, Dee Collier, brings this expedition to life through the eyes of their Shoshone interpreter, Sacajawea.  Lewis and Clark both mentioned her favorably in their diaries.  What did she do that saved their lives numerous times?  How did her presence let other tribes know this was a mission of peace? This class will shed light on these questions and many misconceptions about the quest to find a water passage to the Pacific Ocean.
