Sacagawea not only makes history as the heroine of the country's most important journey of westward expansion, but she shares the unique experience in her own words. Taken captive as a child during a raid, adopted into the tribe of her captives, and then married off, her adventures have only just begun. After Lewis and Clark journey to her village on assignment from President Jefferson, Sacagawea joins the expedition in seeking the northwest passage to the sea. Digging up edible roots and negotiating for horses, she saves the Corps of Discovery, time and time again. Produced by Encounter Video for QUESTAR.
