One thing always puzzled me about Sakakawea, Sacajewea, Sacagawea.
How come nobody ever figured out only one spelling for her name? For all intents and purposes she is a national heroine. She deserves better. Theres more ways to spell her name than there are brands of peanut butter.
Also, could you imagine going on a trip of that length as an 18 year old girl. Yes she was with her husband and gave birth to their child. But she was more a slave than a wife.
Even amongst the Native Americans there is consternation. Also I don't agree with the term Native American. Recently DNA test have proven that samples showed that the DNA that showed up in Native Americans was showing the same generic traits as peoples from Australia and South Pacific Islands up through the central part of the far east, Russia and over the land bridge. They are not native here, they migrated just like everybody else. So just who the hell did they steal this land from?
