Description
Sacajawea statue is located at the 71 acres Sacajawea park in Salomon, Idaho, near her birthplace. Sacajawea was a Native American guide and interpreter on the Lewis and Clark Expedition to the Pacific Ocean. She accompanied the expedition with her two-month-old baby, and like this, she is depicted in this bronze statue. It was created in 2005 by the Idaho artist Agnes Vincen Talbot, famous for her Native American painting and sculptures.
At the park is the Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural & Education Center, which is honoring Sacajawea’s life and educating about the rich culture and history of the Agaídika Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, who lived in the area. The Sacajawea Center hosts special events, occasional programs and provide information about other attractions in the area.
