Bruchac, Joseph – Sacajawea (Paperback)

In Sacajawea, Joseph Bruchac delivers a vivid dual‑perspective middle‑grade novel that brings history to life. Told alternatingly by fifteen‑year‑old Shoshone guide Sacajawea and Captain William Clark—including excerpts from Clark’s original expedition journals—the story follows her capture, marriage to Toussaint Charbonneau, her journey with infant Jean Baptiste, and her crucial role as interpreter, guide, and peacemaker on the Lewis and Clark expedition. Meticulously researched and drawing on Indigenous oral histories, this compelling retelling highlights her bravery, resilience, cultural insight, and the lasting impact she had on America’s westward exploration.
