This plaque is dedicated to Sacajawea, whose contribution of traditional and cultural knowledge, with courage and bravery, earned her recognition in the chronicles of American History.

Sacajawea was a Lemhi Shoshone (Agaidika) born in Salmon, Idaho in 1788. She was the only female to travel on the long, arduous journey with the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1805-1806).

Sacajawea served as an ambassador, bridging relations amongst nations. Her contribution to the people of today and to future generations can be identified as a symbol of unity and peace for all people.

—Rozina George and Emma George, Great-great-great nieces of Sacajawea.
