[Mary Book · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book presents some interesting evidence that Sacagawea was a Hidatsa tribe member, instead of a Shoshone.

The book itself is based on oral tradition of the Hidatsa Nation, so it is a compilation of stories from many people. The original Lewis and Clark journals are featured in one chapter. News reports and other written accounts are also presented. I found the DNA evidence to be particularly compelling.

This book is not a narrative; it is more of a “gathering of evidence” and it is left to the reader to sort it all out. It’s not the best written book, but will appeal to history buffs.

I’m somewhat convinced, but not totally.

People have always taught that Sacagawea is Shoshone, but this book reviews interviews with family and tribal members, as well as government and tribal documents that show Sacagawea was Hidatsa.

Very informative, but also quite repetitive. Worth reading to learn the truth and more about Sacagawea's history.

This book Is very hard to rate from the historical perspective. As for the stories told, layout, and voice I really enjoyed this. But from my own research into the life of Sacagawea of Sakakawea (the Hidatsa way) it leaves much to many readers to read multiple other sources to see what they end up believing by the end of it.

4/5 stars.
