Lewis & Clark and York & Sacagawea

One of the stories

they don't really tell 

anymore

(and it shows)

is the survey mission

of Lewis & Clark

and how it drew

on all the available resources

including a black man named York

and another native girl,

Sacagawea.

I grew up

pronouncing Sacagawea

one way

but in recent years

it seems it's changed

and now I love that one

so much

I still pronounce it that way,

even if her name

doesn't come up

anymore.

Which is a shame.

I'm not sure

a more American story

can be found.
