Sacagawea returns home from corps of discovery

Have you ever wondered what the Corps of Discovery expedition was like? As I hiked up the mountain I saw a cluster of teepees sitting upon the mountain.

I asked,”do you think that the expedition went well?” Sacagawea said with a smile on her face” I believe that the expedition was a huge success because lewis and clark made many maps of the west.” She began to explain about her travels

The movie features a song titled Savages where Pocahontas and her fellow Powhatan tribespeople are described by the English settlers as “barely even human” and “dirty shrieking devils”.
