Randy'L He-dow Teton

Randy'L He-dow Teton (born 1976) is the Shoshone woman who posed as the model for the US Sacagawea dollar coin, first issued in 2000.

In 1998, the United States Mint invited sculptor Glenna Goodacre to submit a design for the new dollar coin featuring Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who acted as guide and interpreter for the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Goodacre went to the Institute of American Indian Arts Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico to find a Shoshone woman to model Sacagawea, since no contemporary portraits exist.

Teton toured the country extensively to promote the new dollar coin's introduction and as a motivational speaker to encourage Native American education.

She continues to make public appearance as Sacagawea to bring attention to American Indian and Alaska Native issues and concerns.
