Many Native Americans viewed the Lewis and Clark Expedition with suspicion and concern, as they saw it as a potential threat to their lands and way of life. Some tribes provided assistance to the expedition out of curiosity or in hopes of establishing diplomatic relations, while others saw it as an invasion of their territory.
They were referred to as the Lewis and Clark Expedition or "the Corps of Discovery."
They met with the Shoshonis, Sacajawea's people. There Sacajawea got to see her brother again, who was the Chief.
The weather hindered Lewis and Clark's expedition. The weather was so bad that they couldn't reach the West.
I think you are asking about their native guide, Sacagawea.
