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.
Sacagawea's son was born on February 11, 1805. His real name was Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, yet he was called "Little Pomp" or "Pompy" by Clark and others in the expedition.
she did not have a last name it was only a first name
The baby boy was named Jean Baptiste.
It was Jean Baptiste
Yes she is real.
Yes at http://www.spock.com/Sacagawea/pictures there are 4. But they are drawings. There are no real pictures.
The real Sacagawea never posed for a portrait, and she died before the invention of photography, so no authentic images of her actually exist. The design used on the small dollar coin is an approximation of how she may have looked.
We do not know her real (Shoshone) name, but she was called Tsakakawia (Bird Woman) by the Hidatsas who had captured her. The expedition leaders recorded this incorrectly as Sacagawea, the name by which she is widely known today.
No, she was a real woman, a Shoshone woman who guided Lewis and Clark when they made their historic journey west.
All Sacagawea coins are Brass. The US has not had a circulating gold coin since 1933.
The only woman to ever appear on U.S. currency (paper money) was Martha Washington in the 1880s and '90s. Then for U.S. coins, both Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea have appeared on small dollars.
Her son was nicknamed "Pompey" by Meriweather Clark who got custody of him when he was about 5. His real name was. Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. Sometime after Sacagwea's death, Clark also got custody of her daughter Lissette.
