She was only
12 years old…
Hundreds of years ago, I ran and played games just like you. I swam in the calm rivers and danced and sang with my friends. I was warm in my tipi and slept on a thick bed of furs. I ate meat and wild vegetables, even though sometimes I was hungry. I was Agai’dika Shoshone, and I loved my world. But then one day the Great Spirit guided me to an incredible adventure.
Sacajawea was unshaken in her spirit. Her life was hard, and she had many heartaches and disappointments. She had to change with the circumstances, and she had to rely on the traditions and ceremony of her Shoshone people. She was not afraid to listen to her intuition and follow her heart. She was a little girl from 1800 who became a woman to remember through the Ages.
Sacajawea is the “Windcatcher,” and her message is clear – believe in yourself and “BE LOVE.”
