Sacajawea's parents were members of the Shoshone tribe. Her father, a Shoshone chief, was involved in trade and had connections with other tribes, while her mother was a skilled gatherer and caretaker.

Sacagawea is famous for being a Native American woman who helped guide Lewis and Clark on their journey to explore territories of the United States. Sacagawea was a member of the Shoshone Indian tribe.
Sacagawea had a son named Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau ("Little Pomp" or "Pompy") who was born on February 11, 1805 during the Lewis and Clark expedition. After the expedition, Clark would later raise and educate young Jean at a time where there was little opportunity for schooling for Native Americans. Her daughter Lizette was born in late 1810 or in 1811, before Sacajawea's reported death in 1812.
