Okay.
I just got back from Salmon.
So the emotions, they're still there.
And these past few days have been amazing.
Okay, I'm not going to cry.
Behind me is Idaho.
In front of me is Montana.
These established roads were built over the Indian trails that my people, the Agai’Dika, the Shoshone people created to hunt in Montana the mighty buffalo.
I'm getting emotional because Salmon, Idaho is the birthplace of Sacajawea.
To witness and to be there on the landscape, I can feel her presence.
I can feel the presence of our people.
We are here at the highest elevation of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
We call this beautiful area Wee-yah-vee.
Try not to cry here.
I'm sharing with you all a personal feeling that I had when I was on top of the Continental Divide.
Sacajawea was able to recognize this area that was close to her home.
She showed Lewis and Clark and the expedition these Indian trails.
I just can't believe it, that Sacajawea, and her baby, in her moccasins climbed up and down sharp rocks.
It just makes me feel more close to Sacajawea and her journey and what she did.
So I'm here today to share that with all of you
