Sacagawea -by: Lise Erdrich, Julie Buffalohead (Illustrator) 32pgs

Lise Erdrich, a member of the Turtle Mountain band of Plains-Ojibway, and artist Buffalohead, who is of Ponca heritage, retell the story of the famous Shoshone woman.  A great timeline and map of the expedition's route are included (maybe start with the timeline and map at the end as background information for your students). 
A good extension after reading this book would be to make connections in writing responses: How would you feel if you were taken from your family?, What can you infer about the character traits of Sacagawea?, etc.
