Sacajawea in Salmon Idaho

Sacajawea, one of the most famous women in history, was born right here in the Salmon valley. Our best history tells us that Sacajawea was born sometime around 1788 between Kenney Creek and Agency Creek along the banks of the Lemhi River at what is present day Tendoy, Idaho. This is a short 5 or 10 miles from the township of Salmon, Idaho. 

Suring the fall of 1800, while the Lemhi Shoshoni tribe were wintering near the three forks of the Missouri River (present day Montana), they were attacked by a band of Minnetaree Indian raiders from the Hidatsa village. They captured Sacajawea as a slave.

Sacajawea was then sold to the Mandan Indians who kept her enslaved until she was gambled off to the French-Canadian fur trader Troussaint Charbonneau. By 16 years of age Sacajawea had suffered more than most of us can imagine. Yet she ended up as the guide who brought the Lewis and Clark party back to the land of her birth, and guided them over difficult mountains and passes to the sea. 

Salmon, Idaho still celebrates our homeland as the birthplace of this brave native woman, now known to the world as Sacajawea. We celebrate this most famous of citizens with a Sacajawea Heritage and Cultural Center, and the yearly Sacajawea Heritage Days Celebration.
