Sacagawea was happy to reunite with her tribe and discover that her brother had become chief, but she continued on her journey with Lewis and Clark to explore new places. She saw the ocean for the first time and was amazed by the vast body of water. After reaching the ocean, the group turned back toward home, having traveled through parts of modern-day Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.

1. SACAGAWEA

5. My favorite part of our journey west
was when we passed through the land
where I grew up and found my old tribe.
Not only did I get to see a few of my
family members and friends, but I
discovered that my brother had become
the chief. When I saw him I threw my
blanket around his shoulders and
exclaimed, "We are of one blanket!"
(Belcher-Hamilton, 26, 1989).
Even though I was so happy to see my
people, I did not stay with them since
my loyalties were to the white men.
After a short visit we continued our
journey to discover a wondrous place I
had never seen before.

6. The ocean! For the first time in my
life I saw a vast body of water that
stretched as far as the eye can see.
Until that moment in my life I had
only seen lakes and rivers.
Once we reached the ocean it was
time to turn around and head home,
and it was great to finally return
home at the end of the trip. All
together, we had traveled through
present day Montana, Idaho,
Washington, and Oregon.

7. MOST OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT MY LIFE IS FROM THE JOURNALS LEWIS AND
CLARK KEPT WHILE ON OUR JOURNEY.
“Sacajawea was always cheerful,”
Captain Clark wrote in his journal. “She
was uncomplaining.” Along with her spunk
and energy she was also known for her

9. Monuments and Memorials are not just
made to honor just anyone. They are
made for
Heroes and Role Models that have
made a difference.
Now that you met and heard
Sacagawea’S Story, go BACK and think
about why she has so
Many American Monuments and
Memorials dedicated to her.
