18th Century Convention
Yoda: Welcomed to the 200th annual Convention of Historical Figures, you are. Gathered we are, in the Jedi Council room on the planet, Coruscant. Quickly! Everyone take their seats and prepare to share their stories.
The eight historical figures that have gathered together are now shuffling to their seats, preparing for the long night ahead. This assembly is held every year for people who had once lived long ago to reminisce in their previous accomplishments. Each attendee share a story that they have prepared, telling each other individual something exciting that has happened in their life. Whoever, with the most exciting or entertaining story wins a secret award…thus bringing out the competitive side in each person. It has been rumored this prize is more extravagant than years prior, so prepare yourself, reader, for these upcoming subsequent events may get a tad…interesting.
Yoda: Mmmm Thank you. Commence we shall, who will begin?
Sacagawea rises, abruptly, among the silent crowd. All faces turn towards her, anxiously awaiting words to escape from her mouth.
Sacagawea: Hello all. My name is Sacagawea. I was born in 1788, as a Shoshone Native American. The Shoshone people were split into 3 regions, Northern, Eastern, and Southern. I came from the Northern Shoshone tribe, in Idaho. My stand in history is when I accompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition across the Louisiana Purchase when they asked me to come along. The first time I saw Lewis and Clark was when they arrived near the Hidatsa villages to spend the winter of 1804–05. They built a fort, and then proceeded to interview as many trappers as they could to find out who could be the best interpreter. I was picked, and my adventure was about to begin. I interpreted the other natives that we came in contact with. I also taught Lewis and Clark how to live off of the land in the wilderness.
Fredrick Douglas: Yawn
Sacagawea: … So, as for the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It started in 1804
