As a teenager, Sacagawea accompanied the Lewis and Clark expedition, bringing along her infant son. This exploration of the woman behind the icon goes beyond the sparse comments found in the expedition journals to the rich oral histories of her people, the Agaidika Shoshoni (known as the Lemhi Shoshoni), as well as the Mandan/Hidatsa and the Nez Perce. Dramatic reenactments and scenes of the wild areas in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Oregon that the youthful Sacagawea knew also help bring her story to life.
