I'll start with a thanks to Carol, a reader who wrote to me about the recent New York Times Magazine article, "What if Everything We Know about Sacagawea is Wrong?" by Christopher Cox. Published on July 23, 2025, Cox tells us about a book written by Dennis and Sandra Fox and several Hidatsa elders. That book is Our Story of Eagle Woman. Sacagawea: They Got it Wrong. The author is listed on the cover as the Sacagawea Project Board of the Mandan Hidatsa & Arikara Nation. Published in 2021, you can get it here.
I bought the electronic copy and will be reading through it. There's also a children's book available that I ordered and will write about when it arrives:
I'll close by thanking Carol for writing to me about the book, and ask readers not to hesitate to write to me about this or that. I may not reply -- time is limited -- but I do what I can to help us all move to a better place in what we know about Native peoples.
