Sacagawea

The Lewis and Clark Expedition hired Sacagawea (pronounced Sack-ah-ja-we-ah). She was hired as an interpreter of the Shoshone language, not as a guide. Although the captains hadn't planned it, she was a sign of peaceful intention to Indian nations, since women didn't travel with war parties. Three times she recognized landmarks in her home country of southeastern Montana, and told the captains about them. She is remembered as a protector, a peacemaker, and a guide. The gold colored Sacagawea dollar coin is thought to bring guidance and good luck.
My mother gives this coin to all her friends and although she calls it the Hiawatha coin, it performs just as well. For instance, for a little while she was at a really nice old folk’s retirement home where they starved the residents and didn’t pay the help very well. But it was a beautiful place with very nice people.
My mother made friends with one of the maids who was going through a rough time because her husband had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and she was so worried so her cousin was taking her to Lake Tahoe to go gambling and forget her problems for at least a little while. Well, my mother told her, "you better take this coin with you. It is good luck. And sure enough, she came back so happy because she had won $900. She bought my mom a porcelain angel. You can ask to buy Sacagawea dollar coins at any bank. We can all use a little guidance and good luck in our corner so don’t hesitate to ask Sacagawea, or Mary, or Jesus, or Buddha, or Mohammed, etc.
