Sacagawea really didn't assertively join the expedition. It was her husband Toussaint Charbonneau who was invited and hired by Lewis and Clark as an interpreter, and Sacagawea would at first only serve as a companion.
However, she became invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth, near the Three Forks of the Missouri, and as a interpreter between the expedition and her tribe when the expedition reached that area. After she gave birth during the expedition to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805 she also quieted the fears of other Native Americans, for no war party traveled with a woman and a small baby.
Sacajawea went with Lewis and Clark because she was too bored and she wanted to go with some guys to have an adventure.
She is on it because of how she helped Lewis and Clark find what they did we wanted to honor her by making statues of her and putting her on the coin.
