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

Who doesn't love a cute baby?

And he offers to take him and adopt him, to adopt him.

And Sacagawea does say no, she won't give up her breastfeeding baby.

We can get into what happens with that more later.

But she won't give up her baby.

I think there probably was some real affection of Clark towards Sacagawea.

I think he probably did respect her as a human being, but it's not something that he takes the time to write down.

So this is one of my favorite stories about Sacagawea because I think you really understand who she is.

So Lewis writes in his journal that she was insistent on being allowed to go and see the ocean.

They also had just heard that.

that there was a whale, a dead whale washed up on the beach.

And so this is a quote from Lewis in his journal.

He says, "...she observed that she had traveled a long way with us to see the great waters, and now that monstrous fish was also to be seen, she thought it very hard she could not be permitted to see either."

So she puts her foot down and says, I am going to see the ocean.

I've gone all this way.

I'm going to see this whale, a bigger fish than I've ever seen in my life before.

And she goes and she looks at the ocean.

And of course, because we don't have anything from her perspective, we can only imagine how she felt when she looked out at the ocean.

But here she is again, 17 years old, probably at this time, a one year, less than one year,

baby on her back looking out at water like she's never seen before and water that she made a choice there right that's what I love about this story right is she she wants to see the water and she goes to see the water and I can just imagine how awe-inspiring and empowering it would have felt to look out at the Pacific Ocean for the first time that was a sensation a state of mind that all of us can can relate to of course every time we see it now you know
