Sacajawea, which in the Indian
tongue means BIRD Woman" was
born in a little Indian VILLAGE on the
banks of Snake river, just west of the
Bitter Root mountains, in what is now
the of Idaho, in 1870.
When Sacajawea was nine years OF
age, her people, the Shoshones, or
Snake River Indians. were suddenly
attacked by their foes, the Minnata-
rees of Knife river. While SAGA
iawea was making her way alone
across the river she was caught and
taken prisoner. Later she was sold
as a slave to Toussaint C%haboneau.
a French h~alf-breed wanderer, at
Brunswick, n. d. He married her
when she was fourteen years old.
Sacajawea and her husband, and
their papoose accompanied a party of
white explorers, led by Lewis and
Clark, on a long journey.
One day the Indian girl rlsked her
own life to save some valuable papers,
maps, instruments, books, magazines
and medicine, when their boat nearly
capsized. SacajaYea swan out and
brought the articles back to the boat
In safety.
When the travellers reached the land
of Sacajawea's birth her presence
saved the white men from being
killed by the hostile Indians. SAGA

of the horses of the expedition by
warning the leaders of the plans of
the Snake River tribe.
