services to the expedition it is altogether fitting
that she should be held In grateful remembrance
by the American people, Her memory is pre-
served in two notable statues. One by Alice
Cooper (shown in one of the illustrations Of this
article) was of the most admired bits of statu-
airy at the Lewis and Clark exposition in Portland
and it now stands in the city park there. Another
stands on the state capitol grounds in Bismarck
N D.
1t is interesting to note that, as in the case Of
Meriwether Lewis, there is a mystery connected
with the death Of Sacajawea. According to one
account she died on the Wind River reservation
of her native people, the Shoshones, on April o.
1884, and buried in the Indian cemetery
there monument was erected over the grave
in 1906 but since that time there has been
controversy among historians as to whether this
grave really holds the bones of Sacajawea Final
ly, the bureau of Indian affairs appointed DR.
Charles A. Eastman the well-known Sioux Indian
author and historian, to make an investigation
and determine if possible where she buried
After three-months' investigation among
three tribes the Shoshones, eros Ventres and
Comanches Doctor Eastman reported his belief
that the woman who was buried near Fort Was
hakie, on the Wind River reservation in Wyoming
was the girl who guided Lewis and Clark. This
supports the conclusions reached by DR.. Grace
Raymond Hebard, historian of the University OF
Wyoming, from evidence which she gathered
while making similar investigation.
David Hilger, secretary of the Montana His
toricaI society; L. f. Crawford, curator of the
North Dakota Historical society," and Doane Rob
inson superintendent emeritus of the South Da-
kota department of history, however, do not con-
cur in this belief They contend that she died
December 20, 1872, at Fort Manuel the Mis-
souri, river in South Dakota. If they are correct
and they believe that their evidence is indisput-
able, just as Doctor Eastman believes that he is
fully justified In his concusions-the grave of
Sacajawea can never be marked for the Missouri
river has long since swept away the site of Fort
Manuel and with it the spot where the Indian
girl was buried.
The controversy was started last year when the
proposal made that congress appropriate
$1,000 to erect suitable monument over the sup
posedly authentic grave near Fort Washable and
this was followed by Doctor Eastmans investiga-
ton, authorized by the Indian department
In view Of all these conflicting opinions it is
difficult for the layman to decide just when and
where SaeaJawea, or Sakakawea died and where
she buried. Perhaps 1t doesn't make much
difference. Wherever she lies, her name has
permanent place in history and her memory
is enshrined with that other Indian heroine Poca-
hontas Of Virginia, In the hearts Of all Americana
