My name is Tina de Keyzer-van Bruggen and this is The Women’s Table.
In 1800 Sacajawea a young girl from the Shoshoni tribe in the US was taken from her family and her people by the Hidatsa warriors. In 1803 she was traded for a gun to Toussaint Charbonneau to be his woman. In 1805 Sacajawea, now also a mother, and her husband become part of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
In this new episode Jane L. Fitzpatrick tells us, in this honest and heartfelt conversation, why she feels that the whole world should know about the life of this remarkable young woman. Please join us in another inspiring episode.
I invite you to listen as I am deeply grateful for Tina and for this opportunity to share the extended story of the Windcatcher… Sometimes life offers us an experience so totally unexpected and utterly life-changing that we literally become someone else. This was my experience as I wrote the story of Sacajawea and pursued production that has taken (and continues to take) nearly a third of my life.
Thank you for listening and believing!
Jane
