Early 20th-century novelist Eva Emery Dye was one of the first writers to popularize (and romanticize) the Lewis and Clark Expedition and introduce a new American heroine, Sacajawea.

How a generation of pioneers and their historians knowingly hid the violent history of Indigenous dispossession in the Pacific Northwest The small, mostly forgotten wars of the 1850s in the American Pacific Northwest were part of a broader genocidal war—the War on Illahee—to seize Native land for Euro‑Americans. Illahee (a term for “homeland” in Chinook) was turned into the states of Oregon and Washington through the violence of invading soldiers, settlers, and serial killers.
