Talk:Sacagawea/Archive 1

message: Regarding pronunciation markup: it probably would be good to change this to SAMPA, if that's the Wikipedia standard (I don't know how, myself).  However I think a mixture of two styles looks really bad.  Additionally, the second-to-last syllable in Sacajawea is a long e, rather than a long a (Ethnology and Philology wasn't completely wrong). - Hephæstos|§ 18:08, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: Request for info: Reunion w/brother.  Maybe I have been fooled by one of the legends but didn't she have a joyful reunion with the brother from whom she was separated as a child? GreatAlfredini Sun 09/24/05 08:51 AM Pacific Time
:To GreatAlfredini:  Sacagawea was reunited with her brother, Cameahwait, in mid-August 1805.  By all accounts it was a very joyful reunion and is considered instrumental to the eventual success of the expedition.

thread_title: Reunion with brother

message: Request for clarification:  Sacagawea name origin
The first paragraph states that Sacagawea was Shoshone by birth kidnapped by a group of Hidatsa around the age of 13.  Mentioned as a possible source for her name is a Hidatsa phrase referring to the moment of her birth.  Does anybody know how or if this would have been possible?  Is there any evidence of any other name when she returned to Shoshone lands and was reunited with her brother, Cameahwait?  It seems to me that if her name was inspired by an event corresponding to her Shoshone birth and she did not live with Hidatsa until over a decade later that her name could not be of Hidatsa origin.

thread_title: Sacagawea name origin

message: The Eastern Shoshone of the Wind River Indian Reservation assert that Sacajawea died decades later in April 1884, and is buried in or near Fort Washakie, Wyoming. There's a commemorative marker for Sacajawea of unknown age present in the area, with this 1941 marker from the Historical Landmark Commission of Wyoming pointing the way to the site.  This appears to be a long-running dispute with the Agaidika or Lemhi Shoshone, the band whose home is near Salmon, Idaho.  One example of the Eastern Shoshone story can be found here, with the Agaidka side of the story here.  It would be interesting for someone to dispassionately sort out this controversy. 66.167.252.105 03:03, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

There has been a  template on the article for a couple of weeks. Does anyone believe it needs to be there? That template doesn't seem appropriate here since the article is about an actual historical person, not a fictional character that someone wrote about as if they were real. --Metropolitan90 23:44, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, and since nobody has bothered replying in the two weeks since you posted that, I'll just jump in and remove the template.  Gene Nygaard 04:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Expansion 

message: I've done an initial glance-over of this article, and it looks quite good, though it would be nice if it included information on Baptiste, her son. However, it has a few "citations needed" tags, and, as such it can't be passed yet. Could you leave a message on my talk page once it's fixed? Adam Cuerden talk 06:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: GA thoughts

message: I'm failing this because of not only the above not being addressed, but because of:
*Some extraneous redlinked text at the end of a few lines. Who is this "Joseph Forman" person? Ditto with the "hddle" in the footnotes.
*More needed references On top of the ones already flagged, the name section is especially frustrating (And shouldn't the common, erroneous pronuciation go up in the intro?). There are all of two footnotes in a section rife with weasel words and speculation and statements that need to be sourced. This needs to be redone carefully, and I don't think putting it on hold will turn the trick. I will tag it appropriately. 
However, I do believe you can fix it and renominate. Daniel Case 02:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The vote on where the expedition should winter over was US government function - therefore Sacajawea was the first woman, first teenager & first Indian to vote. She may have been the first non-white to vote, depending on whether York expressed his opinion first or not. --Dan 21:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
