Interview Notes
Interview with June Decker-Lee—Feb. 14
Q. What first interested you in Sacagawea?
—“I liked her quiet strength. She distinguished herself among a party of more than 30 men. She saved them on more than one occasion.”
Q. How did she do all that while carrying a baby?
—“Great question! I think she and her baby made tribes feel they weren’t a threat.”
