In 1804 a Shoshone woman named Sacajawea met Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.

She would spend the next two years with their expedition, travelling thousands of miles from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean, aiding them to communicate with local tribes and find their way through the unknown lands of the unexplored American West.

Through James Willard Schultz's fascinating discussions with various elderly Native Americans he is able to reconstruct the events of Sacajawea's life, from her traumatic childhood and adolescence, being captured and taken away from her home by a raiding party of Minnetarees, to her unhappy marriage to the interpreter Toussaint Charboneau, through to her life assisting in the exploration of the Pacific Northwest.

Bird Woman (Sacajawea) the Guide of Lewis and Clark is an extraordinary piece of oral history that provides fascinating insight into the life of this astonishing figure in American history and the role she played in nineteenth century exploration.
