Well, actually, on the expedition, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark met up with the Hidatsas. On their journey to the Shoshone grounds, the Hidatsas gave Lewis and Clark Sacagawea and her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau. Sacagawea was a translator who spoke Shoshone, and her husband also helped out in the translations for trading, so actually, Sacagawea wasn't discovered by Lewis and Clark, she was more introduced. :)
