Among the most memorialized women in American history, Sacajewea served as interpreter and guide for Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery. In this visionary novel, acclaimed Indigenous author Debra Magpie Earling brings this mythologized figure vividly to life, casting unsparing light on the men who brutalized her and recentering Sacajewea as the arbiter of her own history.
Raised among the Lemhi Shoshone, the young Sacajewea, in this telling, is bright and bold, growing strong from the hard work of "learning all ways to survive." When her village is raided and her beloved Appe and Bia are killed, Sacajewea is kidnapped and then gambled away to Charbonneau, a French-Canadian trapper.
Sacajewea learns how to survive at the edge of a strange new world teeming with fur trappers and traders. When Lewis and Clark's expedition party arrives, Sacajewea knows she must cross a vast and brutal terrain with her newborn son, the white man who owns her, and a company of men who wish to conquer and commodify the world she loves. Written in lyrical prose, The Lost Journals of Sacajewea is an astonishing work of art and a powerful tale of perseverance—the Indigenous woman's story that hasn't been told.

This novel demands that you learn its language, step into its world on its terms, and in doing so, it offers something profound: a vision of a land before and during colonization, a perspective often erased or sanitized in historical narratives. It’s a difficult book, yes, but like all great works, the challenge is part of its power. The writing is masterful, the voice unforgettable, and the experience of reading it is one I hope many people take on. The rewards are immense.
A transformative masterpiece well read
