Jefferson Starship is an American rock band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1974 by a group of musicians including former members of Jefferson Airplane.[2] Between 1974 and 1984, they released eight gold or platinum-selling studio albums, and one gold-selling compilation.[3] The album Red Octopus went double-platinum, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1975.[4] The band went through several major changes in personnel and genres through the years while retaining the Jefferson Starship name. The band name was retired in 1984, but it was picked up again in 1992 by a revival of the group led by Paul Kantner, which has continued since his death in 2016.

Sacagawea

Sacagawea (about 1788-1812) was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who worked as a guide and interpreter on the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

In 1804, the explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark engaged her as a teenager to assist them navigate the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and communicate with the Native American tribes they encountered.

Sacagawea was critical to the expedition’s success, supporting the explorers in finding food, water, and safe passage through the use of her knowledge of the terrain and language skills.

She also acted as a bridge between the explorers and the Native American tribes they met, assisting in the establishment of peaceful relationships and the securement of essential supplies.

Sacagawea’s contributions to the Lewis and Clark Expedition were critical, and she is now seen as a symbol of Native Americans’ important role in the exploration and settlement of the American West. She can also be found on the US $1 coin.
