Sacajawea: Shoshone Indian
built 634 days ago

Linear patterns are used throughout the place setting as Shoshone women created abstract geometric art, while the men created the pictographic work.

Abrahamson said that Sacajawea cried so much because she was homesick. The homesickness she felt is probably very similar to the homesickness many American Indians who leave the reservation or their families feel today, she said.
