Bird Women
=========================
Although Sacagawea was born a Shoshone, Lewis and Clark wrote that she had been captured by Minnetaris (Hidatsas) when she was about 11 years old; they found her at age 16 married to the French-Canadian interpreter Toussaint Charbonneau at the Hidatsa village.
She had been given the name Tsakakawia (Bird-woman) by the Hidatsas, which Lewis and Clark had great trouble in spelling, not least because Clark was very poorly educated and was unable to spell even English words. They settled for Sacagawea, which later got distorted again to Sacajawea (another spelling error).
So Sacagawea is not a Shoshone name, but the name given to her by the Hidatsas. Her original Shoshone name is not recorded; she would certainly not have been permitted to keep it by her Hidatsa captors, who treated her as a slave.
