Butterfield, Bonnie. “Sacagawea: Captive, Indian Interpreter, Great American Legend: Her Life and Death.” 2000. Sunday, January 09, 2005. <http://www.bonniebutterfield.com/NativeAmericans.html>
This source is one of the most reliable sources I have, because it is written from the perspective of another Native American. It details the hardships Sacagawea went through during the expedition. It also describes the ways in which she helped the expedition. Such times as determining which Indian trail to follow and when they needed horses from the Shoshone are when she helped the most. It also tells of what happened to her after the expedition ended and a little before she joined the expedition. “Classic A-D.” FreeAudioClips.com. April 6, 2005. <http://www.freeaudioclips.com/list.php?subcatid=2&cat=2&subcat=Classic++A+-+D&defaultpager_current=7&defaultpager_next=1>
I used a free recording of the song “Strawberry Fields,” by the Beatles, from this website. “Classic I-L.” FreeAudioClips.com. April 6, 2005. <http://www.freeaudioclips.com/list.php?subcatid=47&subcat=Classic+I+-+L&cat=2>
In addition to the Beatle’s song I used from this extremely useful website, I used the Led Zeppelin song “Stairway to Heaven” in my flash intro.
“How to Make a Website.” Kid Compute. December 29, 2004. <http://www.kidcompute.com/makeawebsite.html>
This website worked for me extremely well. It taught me the rudiments of HTML in a simple and comprehensible way. Headings, text, images, and how to make horizontal lines were all covered in this reference. I would highly recommend this website to any child who would like to make a website. This website only covers the basics, though, and wouldn’t serve to make an expert level website. I still need much more research in HTML to start making my website.
“HTML Cheatsheet.” 2004. Lycos, Inc. December 30, 2004. <http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/reference/html_cheatsheet/>
This resource is one I am thankful to find. It is a list of over seventy five HTML tags. My other resource on HTML only contained the first few basic tags, used to make an extremely plain and boring web page. This resource has enough for me to make a decent web page, though I’d like to expand my knowledge further. I expect to use this list in the making of my web page. I cannot say how reliable this page is, though I think it should be, because I recognize the tags. I think this resource will be very useful later in my process.
Lemay, Laura. Sams Teach Yourself Web publishing With HTML 4 in 21 Days, Second Edition. Sams Publishing, 2000.
This is a very important source to me. I don’t know very much about HTML and am using Microsoft FrontPage, but this will help me make my website more how I want it. Using this book I will be able to make modifications in the code to make my website better. I know this source is reliable because Laura Lemay is a known and trusted author on web publishing. This book contains the secrets of everything from headings to dynamic HTML. I expect to use this source much in the production of my webpage.
"Looking West: A Search for Truth and Beauty." Tuesday, February 8, 2005. <http://www.westernlaw.org/fischer/Bridger-Teton%20NF.jpg>
I used a photograph from this source in my website to express the beauty of the Wind River Basin.
McBeth, Sally. “Sacagawea.” Houghton Mifflin. November 28, 2004. <http://college.hmco.com/history/readercomp/naind/html/na_034000_sacagawea.htm>
This source is one which I will use in abundance. It clears up some misconceptions and comes from a company known to be reliable. It clearly states that her most important role was that of interpreter, linking my subject to the theme even more. Many details described in this article weren’t mentioned in others that I have found. It also gives a theory most historians believe is her time and place of death. This is undoubtedly one of my best sources. Once again, I will use this source much in my website. I have great faith in this source.
“Pop I-L.” FreeAudioClips.com. April 6, 2005. <http://www.freeaudioclips.com/list.php?subcatid=35&cat=9&subcat=Pop+I+-+L&defaultpager_current=4&defaultpager_next=1>
My final song from this website was the Jewel song “Little Sister.”
“Sacagawea.” PBS. Tuesday, December 8. <http://www.pbs.org/lewisandclark/inside/saca.html>
This article gave much more information about Sacagawea as an interpreter, yet it was insufficient to help in my project in any grandiose way. It described how and when she was used as an interpreter. When Shoshone was spoken, Sacagawea translated to Hidatsa which her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, translated to French, and, finally, Francois Labiche translated that to English. It would be more helpful to me if I was studying her life as a person, which I am not; I am studying her career as an interpreter. Therefore this article did not contribute greatly to my website.
“Sacagawea.” 2001. PBS. Tuesday, December 8. <http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/people/s_z/sacagawea.htm>
This article sheds little light on Sacagawea as an interpreter, but it does acknowledge the fact that she assisted them in understanding other Native American tribes. “A woman with a party of men is a token of peace,” it stated in paragraph three, line four. The article is very short, only two pages. It only briefly touches the mammoth amounts of information possible. The web page covers most of the general things and a small amount of details. I will also use a painting of Sacagawea from this web site. It will not contribute very much to my web page, but that does not mean I will exclude it entirely. I may quote it as I did here, but the article’s inclusion will only be brief, just as the helpful parts of its information were.
"Sacagawea.” 2003. Teusday, January 11 2005. <http://www.shoshoneindian.com/sacagawea_001.htm>
This is another source I feel is reliable because it was written not only by other Native Americans, but by members of the Shoshone tribe itself. This is another source I expect to use much while making my website. It tells of many times she helped save the expedition from an untimely end. The article describes the golden dollar at the end and how people react to it. Some people feel it as long overdue recognition for her acts. Others feel it is an insult to the Shoshone tribe.
"Sacagawea: A one woman play." 2000. Tuesday, February 8, 2005. <http://www.thecommunitylibrary.org/events/2000/feb00.html> I used a painting of Sacagawea from this webpage, also.
"Sacagawea Dollars." 2004. Tuesday, February 8, 2005. <http://www.coinfacts.com/silver_dollars/sacagawea_dollars/sac_dollars_by_date.htm> I used a Photograph of the Sacagawea Dollar from this source.
Tuesday, February 8, 2005. <http://www.wind-river.org/images/fremontcountymap.jpg> I used a Map of Wyoming from this source in my website because it had the Wind River reservation marked off.
Tuesday, February 8, 2005. <http://www.wind-river.org/images/11bbikersmtn.jpg> I used a photograph of cyclists in my website to accentuate the beauty of the Wind River Basin.
