happy women’s history month but also to the women who deserved better (to name a few)

It’s October 1st, and y’all know what time it is! I’ll be bringing you thirty one fascinating ladies from history, from the legendary to the obscure, and we’ll be starting off, as always with a pen and ink drawing of a woman whose story has fascinating me since childhood - this year, Sacajawea!

Sacajawea (note: there are multiple anglicizations of her name; I went with the one preferred by the Lemhi Shoshone) was born in modern-day Idaho. Her people, the Lemhi Shoshone, or Akaitikka, lived and fished along the Lemhi and Salmon rivers. As a child, however, Sacajawea was kidnapped and enslaved by raiding Hidatsa, who soon sold her to a French-Canadian trader and trapper, Toussaint Charbonneau.

Forced into marriage and taken further and further from home, Sacajawea was soon pregnant. When Charbonneau was hired as a guide for a small expedition of Americans, she had no choice but to follow.

Sacajawea, however, would turn out to be far more vital to the success of the Lewis and Clark expedition than her vainglorious husband. She interpreted for them, served as a diplomat, and rescued critical papers and supplies when a boat overturned and most of the passengers panicked. And, to her great joy, she temporarily returned to her people, reuniting with her elder brother, now the Lemhi chief.

After the expedition, Sacajawea continued to accompany her husband as he moved around the West, but it’s here that she begins to fade from recorded history. It’s known that her son, Jean-Baptiste, was adopted by William Clark, and that she had a daughter, Lizette, who likely died young, but there are two women, otherwise nameless, who historians and oral tradition has claimed as Sacajawea. The first was a wife of Charbonneau, who died of fever in 1812, the year before Clark adopted Jean-Baptiste. Modern historians generally agree that this was Sacajawea, not yet thirty, and there is a monument to her in South Dakota.

But Sacajawea has another marked grave - that of the “female chief,” or Porivo, a Shoshone woman who had lived among the Comanche, travelled with white men, and died of old age among the Lemhi Shoshone. While her story has been subsumed by Sacajawea, it seems that she was quite the Awesome Lady of History herself.

I hope Sacajawea liked yaoi

This feels like it could be a variant of that slug live reaction meme

Pretty much spent the past 2 days non-stop storyboarding but it was worth it!!! Enjoy “The Chase”! This is a storyboard in a episode where the first historic human (Lafayette) is summoned by the tablet. He obviously freaks out and tries to run off but the gang has to stop him before he escapes!
