After Sacagaweas Death

U.S. dollar coin.
Sacagawea was an amazing woman in history. Her story has lived on way after her death, historians study about her, and she is taught about in schools, museums, and many other places around the world. Sacagawea even has a U.S. dollar coin in her honor. it was introduced  in 1999. The picture on the coin is not really of Sacagawea, but that's because no pictures really exist of her, just discriptions of what she looked like. It is also said that there are more statues in Sacagawea's honor than any other woman in history. Many public schools, especially in the Northwest, are named after Sacagawea, as are some mountians, streams, and lakes.
