But one year, we couldn’t
find food in the mountains.
We were starving. We had
to leave the mountains.
The Shoshoni Indians live in the mountains.
The mountains are safe.
My name is Sacagawea.
I am a Shoshoni Indian.
Chapter 1: How My Mother Died 5
It isn’t safe on the
plains. The Minnetaree
Indians live on the
plains. The Minnetaree
Indians do not like
the Shoshoni Indians.
We went down to the
flat, grassy plains.
Thousands of buffalo
lived on the plains.
Buffalo have meat
for food and skins
for blankets.
6
I had to live and work in the chief’s
house. The house was called a lodge.
The lodge was made out of logs
and dirt.

She showed us how to make
boats from buffalo skins.
The chief was not kind to us.
But the chief’s wife was kind to us.
She showed us how to grow corn.
11
One day, a white man came to the village.
Otter Woman and I called the white man,
“Old Bear.” His face was hairy like a bear!
Chapter 3: The Wives of Old Bear12
The chief liked Old Bear.
The chief and Old Bear
liked to play games.
The chief and Old Bear
liked to make bets.
Old Bear won
Otter Woman
and me in a bet.
Otter Woman
and me did not
like Old Bear.
But now we had
to marry Old Bear!
13
Old Bear told me many things. Old Bear told
me about the white men who came. Old Bear
said, “Chief Jefferson is the white men’s chief.”
14
Old Bear said, “The white men have many
guns. Maybe they will trade guns for horses.”
I said, “I’ll go! The Shoshoni village is my village!
Old Bear said that we should help them.
Old Bear said, “We’ll take them to the
Shoshoni village. The Shoshoni people
have many horses.”
