Sacajawea was kidnapped from here as a young girl (10-12), and taken back to the Knife River Village. She married a French trapper, and ended up as part of the Corps of Discovery. Five years after being taken from this area, she returned with the Corps, and was reunited with her brother. She continued on with the Corps, and was a valuable member of the team. Although her story is mixed up between fact and fiction, it is definitely true she had a very interesting life!
This statue is in Three Forks, MT, and stands in front of the historic Sacajawea Hotel. I did not get the chance to stay here, but it looks lovely!
