Sacajawea, The Windcatcher Wins Best Feature Script

I believe in this story of Sacajawea and its importance to our greater understanding. It couldn’t be timelier than right now as its message will help heal our country and embrace indigenous people, therefore all people around the world. This story brings into focus the value of women and the issues they face. Sacajawea was stolen away from those she loved and abused over 200 years ago, and yet we remember her life. There is a reason, and she has a purpose for today.

This screenplay is endorsed by Shoshoni people and also the Lewis & Clark historians. Much of it is the explorers’ journey, but through the eyes of a 16-year-old girl longing for home.

Added to the scripts recent ONIROS award for Best Historical Script, Sacajawea has also WON Best Feature Script from the Portland Screenplay Awards. I am truly blessed and so deeply humbled as we continue to soar on eagles’ wings, let us run and not grow weary, let us walk and never faint.

ONWARD!
Jane
