Sacagawea (/ˌsækədʒəˈwiːə/ or /səˌkɑːɡəˈweɪə/, also spelled Sakakawea or Sacajawea; May c. 1788 – December 20, 1812 or April 9, 1884) was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who, in her teens, helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition in achieving their chartered mission objectives by exploring the Louisiana Territory. Sacagawea traveled with the expedition thousands of miles from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean, helping to establish cultural contacts with Native American people and contributing to the expedition's knowledge of natural history in different regions.

The National American Woman Suffrage Association of the early 20th century adopted her as a symbol of women's worth and independence, erecting several statues and plaques in her memory, and doing much to recount her accomplishments.

Reliable historical information about Sacagawea is very limited. She was born c. 1788 into the Agaidika ('Salmon Eater', aka Lemhi Shoshone) tribe near present-day Salmon, Lemhi County, Idaho. This is near the continental divide at the present-day Idaho-Montana border.

In 1800, when she was about 12 years old, Sacagawea and several other children were taken captive by a group of Hidatsa in a raid that resulted in the deaths of several Shoshone: four men, four women, and several boys. She was held captive at a Hidatsa village near present-day Washburn, North Dakota.

At about age 13, she was sold into a non-consensual marriage to Toussaint Charbonneau, a Quebecois trapper. He had also bought another young Shoshone girl, known as Otter Woman, for a wife. Charbonneau was variously reported to have purchased both girls from the Hidatsa, or to have won Sacagawea while gambling.

Hollow Horn Bear was a Brulé Lakota chief and diplomat. As the son of Chief Iron Shell, he participated in many raids and fought in 31 battles, including Little Bighorn. 2 years before Little Bighorn, he started working with the US army as a scout, but split off from the army and joined Sitting Bull 5 days before the battle. During the battle Hollow Bear claimed to have personally fought against general Custer. Notable events of his later life are traveling to Washington D.C. to complain about the harsh conditions of his people's reservation life. He advised his tribe on how to spend money, directing the funds to building schools and raising cattle. The chief fought valiantly for the rights to equal pay for his tribespeople working at the railroad. He threatened to burn the agency and intimidate the agent with force until he increased the wages, an act which got him arrested. Hollow Horn Bear died from pneumonia after a visit to the capital in 1913. The chief was commemorated with features on a postage stamp and currency. He is remembered for always helping his people achieve more in bargains with the government, a smooth-spoken diplomat if there ever was one.

With the arrival of the Spanish into the Americas came the introduction of horses, who adapted astoundingly well to the climate and geography of the Plains. The Plains were very similar to the horses' Iberian homeland, which was the reason for their rapid spread. The Natives quickly tamed the wild beasts, which would transform their way of life in an unimaginable way. The Plains Natives, most notably the Comanches and the Apaches, became the strongest powerhouses in the region. Their horsemen could now keep up with the bison and buffalo herds, they could fight more efficiently and could travel hundreds of miles in a relatively short time frame. In the new horsemen societies, the wealth of an individual was measured by the number of horses they possessed. Stealing horses was one of the main goals of warfare, as being left in the Plains without a horse was equal to a death sentence. Comanche women were notorious riders, although the skill came with a cost - pregnant women riding on horseback would often lose their children, so the Comanches had a lower population growth than the tribes that didn't rely on horses as much. They made up the losses by taking captives from rival tribes and adopting them as their own. All in all, horses were the reason Native Americans resisted European expansion. We have all heard of the Comanche horse archers and how they managed to resist the U.S. expansion until the end of the 19th century, and of the havoc they wreaked in the decades prior to their fall.

While there are around 600 federally recognized tribes, there are around 400 unrecognized tribes who have been struggling with federal recognition for years. In the past, in order to be federally recognized tribes had to prove that they existed as a distinct community, as well as prove their existence from colonial contact forward. The criteria was changed in 2015, as from then on tribes had to prove that they've been identified as Native American since 1900. One could immediately see problems with this kind of criteria, as it is very difficult to trace your origins centuries earlier with very limited ways of proving your identity, since they were most often destroyed by the U.S. military during forced removals. Most Indian nations didn't use writing systems, and non-documentary sources - such as Indian School enrollment, are not accepted, which makes the process of recognition the most difficult. Recognized tribes have many benefits, such as scholarships, financial, housing and healthcare support. The biggest benefit of all is that they are considered a legitimate sovereign political authority and as such can pass laws, in accordance with the fed, of course.
