Sacagawea, a Lemhi Shoshone woman, was instrumental in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, helping to explore the Louisiana Territory. She journeyed thousands of miles with the expedition, facilitating cultural exchanges with Native American communities and enhancing the group’s understanding of natural history. Recognized in the early 20th century as a symbol of women’s value and autonomy by the National American Woman Suffrage Association, her remarkable achievements were commemorated through statues, plaques, and storytelling.
