Yes, Sacagawea did help Lewis and Clark. She served as a guide to them, and majorly contributed to their finding the Pacific Ocean. However, she received no reward for her services to them during the expedition.
Sacagawea would give birth to her first child during the expedition and therefore not before she and her husband joined. She would give birth to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805, whom Clark later raised and educated. By having a baby, she quieted the fears of other Native Americans, for no war party traveled with a woman and a small baby.
No they did not. Sacagawea was married to Toussaint Charbonneau and she had two children by him: Jean-Baptiste and Lisette. Granted, William Clark was fond of Jean-Baptiste (the baby was born during the expedition) and he nicknamed him "Pompy" or "Little Pomp" but there was never a romantic attachment between him and Sacagawea. After Sacagawea's death, Clark would formally adopt Jean-Baptiste and give him a proper education and Sacagawea's husband agreed to full custody but this also had no romantic connotations. Clark respected Sacagawea as a fellow expedition member and she proved herself far more capable than her husband, so the adoption was mostly for the child's sake but also out of appreciation for Sacagawea's assistance.
William Clark had his own children to take care of as well. With his first wife, Julia Hancock, Clark had five children. They were Meriwether Lewis Clark, Sr., William Preston Clark, Mary Margaret Clark, George Rogers Hancock Clark and John Julius Clark. After his first wife's death he remarried her first cousin, Harriet Kennerly Radford. With her Clark had 3 kids: Jefferson Kearny Clark, Edmund Clark, and Harriet Clark.
Yes, the baby was a sign of peace. This was good for the "Corps Of Discovery". When Natives saw them coming they would not shoot bows and arrows. Because they had a baby. If Sacajawea had not given birth they might have had a bigger risk of death by bows and arrows.
Her birth was accompanied by Lewis. Who gave her crushed up rattlesnake. This helped speed up the birth of Pomp. Pomp was his nickname. His real name was Jean Baptiste Charbonneau.
yes, she did. During the expedition, the Indians (shoshone people) recognized her, and they belived a women and her baby with a group full of men was a symbol of peace and love
Sacagawea did not have a maiden name that is known. She is known for helping Lewis and Clark during the 1800's.
Sacagawea wouldn't have been known for her famous expedition that she lead Lewis and Clark on
When Lewis and Clark wintered at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, there they met Sacagawea and her husband in 1804. Toussaint Charbonneau was interviewed to interpret Hidatsa for the Lewis and Clark expedition, but Lewis and Clark (esp. Clark) were not overly impressed with him. However, Sacagawea his wife spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, so they hired Charbonneau on November 4, and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 at this time.
Lewis, Clark, Sacagawea's Husband, Sacagawea, 45 members, and bunch of People in there.
Sacagawea is mostly known for helping Lewis and Clark on their expedition exploring the Louisiana Territory for President Thomas Jefferson. America had just gotten that land from Britain after the Revolutionary War. Lewis and Clark were two former soliders. Sacagawea was a shoshone indian girl who took care of her baby while helping Lewis and Clark. She helped them go over mountains and showed them paths inbetween mountains. Without her Lewis and Clark would have got lost and died. Sacagawea treated ingured people. She save Clark when he got bitten by a snake. She was very important.
