American History Hit · Lewis & Clark & Sacagawea's Expedition · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

It was common at the time for especially mixed descent kids to live in settler centers and get an education in settler schools.

But like,

He loved this kid, right?

This kid who is Native on an individual level.

He had these feelings of affection, but that didn't translate into policy that respected the humanity and sovereignty of Native nations.

Before we talk about Sacagawea, can I mention, so one of the things that I think is really interesting about how the Lewis and Clark story is remembered is like the statues that are made, right?

And I did forget to mention a very important member of the team, which was the dog, Seaman.

There are more statues of semen than of York and Sacagawea.

There's 12 statues with semen in it, and there are only two statues of York.

Yeah, there's statues all along the path.

There's one when I used to work in Nebraska.

There's one in Lincoln that has Lewis and Clark and Seaman and like a young Native boy and then a Native man.

The young Native boy is holding an American flag.

And the man is like pointing here.

Here is all our land.

But there's there's so many Lewis and Clark statues around the country, especially along the trail.

So the documented narrative, the narrative that historians and others have been writing for a long time, is that she died of a fever.

In 1812.

And that's just the end, right?

She disappears from the record.
