Sacajawea's People

"[A] fascinating study. . . . The author's thoroughly researched account is bolstered by the inclusion of American Indian perspectives, particularly contributions from Lemhi Shoshone activists."—Choice

“This remarkable book is, in effect, the biography of a people. . . . An amazing story about a group of people who managed to live in harmony with just about everything except human beings. . . . and especially Western governments.”—Statesman Journal

“Mann offers an absorbing an richly detailed look at the life of Sacajawea’s people before their first contact with non-natives, their encounter with the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 19th century and their subsequent confinement to a reservation near Salmon.”—Idaho Statesman

“Mann’s interesting study of Sacajawea’s Lemhi Shoshoni tribe (originating in the area of Salmon, Idaho) provides a wealth of information pertaining to the great Indian icon and her people. Based on historical research used to dedicated the original tribal site, the book offers historians an abundance of information—detailed well into this century—on Sacajawea’s people.”—Linda Wommack, True West Magazine

“[A] much needed account of the historical clash between a government based on European ideas and a small tribe clinging tenaciously to its culture, identity, and sense of place. Mann should be commended for relating a story that is just as hard fought as the journey aided by Sacajawea 200 years ago.”—Kathie Meyer, Washington State Magazine

"A compelling account of the Lemhis' struggle for autonomy. . . . This book may provide them with some important legal ammunition."—Mark van de Logt, Canadian Journal of History
