Back in the early 19th century, when the United States started its westward expansion, one remarkable woman emerged as an essential figure in American history: Sacagawea. Born around 1788 in what is now Idaho, Sacagawea was a Shoshone woman whose knowledge, skills, and resilience were instrumental in the success of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
