The state will add a 12-foot-tall sculpture of Sakakawea, commonly known as Sacagawea, who served as a guide for William Clark and Meriwether Lewis’ 1803-06 expedition across the Louisiana Purchase and Pacific Northwest. The work is a replica of a statue created by Leonard Crunelle and dedicated at the state Capitol in Bismarck in 1910.

New Mexico plans to add a statue of Popé, the San Juan Pueblo Indian strategist and warrior credited with leading the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. Nevada is working on a depiction of Sarah Winnemucca, who founded the state’s first school for American Indians.
