Sacajawea: A Problem in Plains Anthropology

Abstract

A search of the literature produced three possible dates (1812, 1837, 1884) for the death of Sacajawea, the famed Shoshoni woman who accompanied the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The problem is approached with a testable hypothesis based on techniques from the subdisciplines of anthropology.
