Wikipedia, March 19, 2020 (Sacagawea (also Sakakawea or Sacajawea; May 1788 - December 20, 1812 or April 9, 1884) was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who, at age 16, met and helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition in achieving their chartered mission objectives by exploring the Louisiana Territory; born Lemhi River Valley, near present-day Salmon, Idaho; died Kenel, South Dakota or Wyoming; important member of the Lewis and Clark expedition)
Our story of the Eagle Woman Sacagawea, 2021: title page (Sacagawea) page 103 (According to Hidatsa stories, Sacagawea was Hidatsa. Her name was changed from Maeshuweash, "Eagle Woman", to Sacagawea, "Bird Woman" because Maeshuweash was too difficult for the white men to pronounce. Because she had snake medicine, the whites erroneously assumed she was a Snake (Shoshoni) Indian) page 296 (DNA evidence shows that Sacagawea's Ft. Berthold desendants are related to the Charbonneau family. Sacagawea was a Hidatsa/Crow Indian, and not Shoshoni)
