This discussion features Rozina George and Rose Ann Abramson (Lemhi Shoshone), relatives of Sacajawea, and Karenne Wood (Monacan), Director of the Virginia Indian Heritage Program, in a conversation about the ways American Indian women have been portrayed in our history. Focusing especially on Sacajawea and Pocahontas, the talk will illuminate misconceptions and offer fresh insights about these two pivotal figures. This event is sponsored by the Virginia Indian Heritage Program of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, and Sojourners' UCC. It is free and open to the public.
