I have a friend, he is part Native American, and is very influenced by his culture. He speaks many Native American languages. He said that it is spelled Sacajawea, (or Sacagawea, either is acceptable) and most people pronounce it that way. But the correct way to pronounce it sounds like sakakawea, but again it is not spelled like that.
