Sacajawea was a huge influence on the Lewis in Clark expedition. As the wife of one of a fur trader named Charboneau and a Native American, she was able to provide valuable epertise in several fields. First, she was able to identify many edible plants that could be used as food on the trek. Also, she was able to act as a translator to many of the Native American tribes they encountered. She was able to negotiate treaties with some of these tribes, and sometimes even able to help the company aquire much needed supplies from the Native Americans. Another contribution she made to the journey was saving valuable items when one of the boats overturned. Perhaps most impressive, she made this whole journey with a baby on her back.
