Many mysteries surround her. More mountains, lakes and streams bear her name than any other North American woman. Across the Nation statues have been erected in honor of her memory.

Boise Filmmaker Lori Joyce of Idanha Films teamed up with the creative production team of Idaho Public Television to produce her latest documentary on a woman she has been fascinated with since fourth grade.

This one hour program explores the life of Sacagawea from the rich oral history of the Augadika Shoshoni, Mandan Hidatsa and the Nez Perce Native American tribes, as well as the historical account taken from the journals of the Corps of Discovery.

Joyce with director/videographer Alan Austin and co-producer John Crancer traveled five states, Idaho, Montana, N. Dakota, Wyoming and Oregon to gather the footage for the film. Native American singer-songwriter Rita Coolidge, winner of two Grammy Awards, narrates the unfolding story shot on location.
