A young Lemhi Shoshone woman living with the Hidatsa, my French husband, and my newborn, Jean Baptiste.
Explanations
- I believe Sacagawea would give some vocabulary for Shoshone, because she personally spoke that language. http://www.pbs.org/lewisandclark/inside/saca.html
- I also think that Sacagawea would have many posts about racism and different resources (like books or songs), against Native Americans, because she was Native American and they dealt with terrible, blatant racism from white settlers. She would want people to know about their injustice.
- Sacagawea writing posts about Pomp and her daughter, Lisette, is appropriate, because Sacagawea cared about her children and they are a few of the things that have been documented in her life.
- Nature pictures seem to fit this blog, because the Shoshone were nomads who lived from place to place, and the Hidatsa also lived outdoors. Nature was also important to Native Americans. http://www.shoshoneindian.com/
- Sacagawea would include an article on kidnapping, because when she was a young girl, she was kidnapped by the Hidatsa Indians, and so kidnapping would be something personal to her. And a fake kidnapping would enrage her, knowing how terrifying a kidnapping is.
- A brief post on Charbonneau's birthday was included, because Charbonneau was Sacagawea's husband, of whom she lived with and went along with on Lewis and Clark's adventure. He was present in Sacagawea's life.
- I wrote a small post about Sacagawea thanking her friend Clark for providing future education for Pomp, because Sacagawea had become close with Clark in real life, and he had agreed to adopt Pomp and give him an education. Her social status and economic status still rang true today for people trying to receive a better education, so I included her money problems as well. http://www.sacagawea-biography.org/sacagawea-and-the-lewis-and-clark-expedition/
I chose a casual, plain approach for Sacagawea's blog, because she did not seem to be one who would have an extravagant blog. She was a simple person who lived a rather casual life. There would be no need for her to dress up her blog with designs. Her mannerisms of writing are polite and straightforward, because Sacagawea was a level-headed woman who was kind to everyone around her. She cared for people and, for what has been documented, was never truly mean to anyone, even her captors.
