Imagine the wonder that Sacajawea had when she saw a sand dollar for the first time. The artist who created the bronze statue of her that stands atop the hill at the Sacajawea Cemetery tried to capture that amazement.

Thanks again for sharing an interesting blog post. I had no idea she lived that long. Rather amazing that so many details are available.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful statue. I find her to be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis really is a lovely statue with a lovely setting. There are so many interesting places in the US to visit and I wish I had more opportunities to do so. Thank you for taking us on a mini-trip today.
ReplyDeleteShe is a beauty, such an interesting sculpture. I have enjoyed everything I have read about her:)
ReplyDeleteThis statue is so well done. I need to drive over and see it.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a statue of her in Charlottesville that Channon showed to me .
ReplyDeleteI love Sacajewa stories and statues!
That is such a cool statue! I love Sacajawea coins. :) I love to say, Sacajawea. hehe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful statue! When I was in grade school the stories about Sacajawea were my favorites. Thanks for sharing the photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! It's beautiful. Have you read Sacajawea by Ann Waldo? It's about her and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThis might be my new favorite post of yours - and that's saying something! I love sand dollars and starfish, but what a strong, amazing woman she was... for so very long!
