"[Lewis and Clark expedition member Sacagawea] must have heard the waves before she saw them, finally glimpsing Oregon's shore ... in January 1806. In the space of a year Sacagawea had given birth, found her kin, and walked halfway across a continent. Her fate is a mystery, yet her legend lives on as pathfinder, feminist icon, and Indian heroine."
From "Searching for Sacagawea," February 2003, National Geographic magazine
