SACAJAWEA'S CHOICE

Sacajawea’s Choice

If she could talk she would agree, this is the absolute best place for her to be.
Salmon, Idaho by the river and mountains where she was abducted ,overlooking her homeland.
The Sacajawea Interpretive Center in a 71 acre park dedicated to Sacajawea, her people, and the Lewis and Clark expedition.
This beautiful center interprets the history and the significance of her role with the Corp of Discovery.
It is a lasting legacy for Sacajawea, the Shoshone Nation, the community of Salmon and the world.
We went to check out the center last summer. All of the flower’s were in bloom and it was truly a heavenly place. So fitting for the beautiful Indian maiden who gave so much and got so little in return.
The magnificent statue of Sacajawea and he baby Pomp is realistic and beautiful.
It is a great complement to the artist, A. Vincen Talbot. She is a disciplined historical researcher who insists on authenticity and detail in her work.
You will want to spend some time here, to get the feel ,of Sacajawea’s spirit. She is home at last.
Others will tell you Sacajawea went back to her homeland in Wyoming, married several times and had more children. Living to a rip old age.
On the Wind River Reservation near Lander, Wy. They have a grave for her and John Baptiste, her baby. A monument in her honor.
We have gone to the monument in Wyoming and Salmon, Idaho. I have read and listened to the stories of her life and death.
It is my opinion that she is from Salmon, Idaho.
Or is she? I am from Idaho. Is it I just want a piece of her to say in Idaho?
Just like they do in Wyoming, South Dakota, and North Dakota?
There is this beautiful center in her honor in Idaho, a burial memorial site in Wyoming, a simple monument to her in South Dakota and North Dakota.
You will have to decide which story you want to believe.
