Welcome to the History Extra podcast, fascinating historical conversations from the makers of BBC History magazine. Saka Jawea is remembered in US history as the Shoshone woman who acted as interpreter to the Lewis and Clark expedition, the early 19th century mission to chart territory in the American West and after the Louisiana Purchase. But what impact did Sacagawea's contributions have on the success of this eventful journey?
How did her presence influence interactions with the various Native American people that the expedition party encountered? And how has her legacy been interpreted and commemorated in the years since? Speaking to Rebecca Franks for today's Life of the Week episode, Stephanie Ambrose Tubbs delves into the life of Sacagawea. From what we know about her early years to what her story can reveal about broader cultural attitudes towards indigenous people in American history. In this episode of Life of the Week, we're heading off into the North American wilderness with Saka Jaweir, a fascinating figure from history, and our expert has spent her lifetime walking or paddling in her footsteps.
