My definition of a hero: A hero is someone you can look up to, and base your life choices around. You should have a high amount of respect towards this person. This person should guide you throughout your life. There has to be an accomplishment this person has overcome, or experienced for them to be your hero.

1) Sacagewea still to this day, is a well respected hero of the 19th century. She led Lewis and Clarke throughout their journey. Keep reading for more information on how she has changed lives for so many people!

2)Put hero’s life into perspective–when did they live? Sacagawea lived from 1788 to 1812. In the 19th century. where?

3)What makes your person a hero–you must prove that your person meets the criteria of your own personal definition(this is the meat of your wiki page and your submission to the My Hero website-your looking at a good four paragraphs here–focus on that spark, that moment the person decided to be heroic or do heroic acts

Sacagawea helped Lewis and Clark through their journey. She was an interpreter for them. She helped communicate with other Indians. She helped them gather food and resources. She did all of this with a baby on her back. That's why most people look up to her. She did so much for those people, and she did it all with a baby. It's very hard to take care of more than two things at a time, but somehow Sacagawea did it.

I think Sacagewea is a huge symbol for women today. [|Here] it shows how people needed a new woman to put on the dollar coin, and they chose her because she represents a stong, courageous woman. She has contributed to the success of one of the greatest adventures in America. Mnay people represent her as a true american indian women. Without her, who knows where Lewis and Clark would have went.

Sacagawea's knowledge of her land, saved Lewis and Clark weeks of travel time. Also her knowledge of her language helped her translate to other tribes and it helped keep their food and water fresh. When they ran low on food, Sacagawea was the person who took the time to go gather food from the woods. This is a person who you can base your life choices around

Sacagawea is a huge role model. This is someone you can look up to, even though she's not here today. Sacagawae has accomplished so much, and thats what a hero is. You can base your choices around Sacagawea. That is what exactly a hero is supposed to be, so that's why she is one to so many people. I know Sacagawea is a hero.
