Fine Group of Statuary Will Mark Lewis Clark Sacajawea Site
A Montana plan earmarks ten thousand dollars for two Lewis and Clark monuments at Three Forks and Great Falls. The Great Falls project to honor Sacajawea, the Bird Woman, proceeds separately with a much larger funding goal. Historical notes recount Clark's praise for Sacajawea and trace her burial at Wind River, Wyoming, with a brass grave tablet once placed at the site.
