SYNOPSIS
Based on the Journals of the Lewis & Clark Expedition and Shoshone Culture & Traditions

Historical Notes: There are many controversies in the story of Sacagawea, here are two that relate to this synopsis:
1) Her Shoshone people believe her name is Sacajawea (Boat Pusher). The Hidatsa people gave her the name Sacagawea (Bird Woman). We have used both spellings at times to honor her people and the Hidatsa by creating a logo for the film that encompasses both spellings. The script is written using Sacajawea, because the story is through her eyes, but when the Hidatsa chief gives her the name, he calls her Sacagawea.
2) In the Lewis & Clark journals they wrote that Chief Cameahwait was her brother, however the Shoshone people shared with us that the chief was her uncle. This created a completely different relationship and dynamic when writing the story. The Shoshone people explained to us that they called everyone brother and sister and that was the confusion.
