    Mountain west, and same. Closest we got was a watered down mention of MLK and Sacagawea, mostly because she is pertinent to state history. They kinda glossed over her being a teenage sex slave and depicted her as the “wise old squaw” trope, never mentioning she died in her mid-20s. We have a statue of her by the Capitol. She’s pointing Lewis and Clark south, the one direction they didn’t go 🤦‍♂️
