Powerpoint Project - Sacagawea's son Pomp
Read the student handout first for your instructions.
Introduction
Imagine traveling with a baby across the country by carrying the baby on your back as you walk from place to place. What are the possible challenges that you might face along the way?
[Pass a Sacagawea dollar around to the students or show a picture of the coin to the class.] The baby on this coin is named Pomp, which means first born in the Shoshone language. This coin illustrates how Pomp started his life on a very famous journey with his mother, Sacagawea.
Sacagawea, a Native American from the Shoshone tribe, served as a guide for the explorers Lewis & Clark on their famous expedition to find the Pacific Ocean.
In this activity you are going to learn about Pomp's life, beginning with his participation in the famous Lewis & Clark expedition, through his travels in Europe, to his life as a mountain man and scout for the U.S. Army, to his participation in the California gold rush.
Divide your students into six groups. Each group will read and summarize one chapter from an online biography of Pomp (see link at right). The first five chapters tell the story of Pomp's life, and the last chapter explains the story of the Sacagawea dollar.
Each group will create a PowerPoint 2007 presentation to demonstrate to the class what you have learned. By viewing all the group presentations as a class, we'll learn the whole story of Pomp's life and get a good sense of major events in United States history during the nineteenth century.

Highlights of Chapter 6:
In 1999 the US treasury decided to create a new dollar coin to “pay tribute to Indian women, whose cultural and spiritual contributions have enriched our lives” (Hillary Rodham Clinton). The Sacagawea coin replaced the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin. There were many options for this new coin, but the overwhelming favorite was the Sacagawea coin. Many artists from all over the country created molds for the coin. The coin that was chosen was Goodacre’s design. This displays a picture of Sacagawea and her son pomp on her back. On the other side of the coin is a picture of an eagle and 17 stars representing the 17 states at the time of her existence.
