"City council is planning to remove the hundred-year-old sculpture and perhaps replace it with something that reflects the important role of Sacagawea."

The depiction of that statue really disgusts me.

I believe the true one would have Lewis & Clark huddled behind her, as she communicated with tribes along the journey, guiding the best path & keeping Lewis & Clark from wandering on their own, in the rugged North passage.

AND CARRYING A BABY ON HER BACK, AS WELL!
