This performance text enacts a critical cultural politics concerning Native American
women and their presence in Western mythology. I interrogate the history of
Sacagawea and the representation of native American women in two cultural and
symbolic landscapes; the Lewis and Clark Journals and Montana’s most
famous novel, A.B. Guthrie, Jr.’s mid-century novel (1947), Big Sky.
