Why did Lewis and Clark hire Toussaint Charbonneau?
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 spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, so they hired Charbonneau on November 4, and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later. He did make several contributions to the success of the expedition. He was helpful when the expedition encountered French trappers from Canada. He served as a cook and his skill in striking a bargain came in handy. ---------------------------------------- Charbonneau, despite Clark's dislike of him, was an excellent trapper and hunter. Also, it wouldn't have been proper for Sacajawea to leave her husband and be left with all those men.
Where did Lewis and Clark meet Charbonneau?
While working for the North West Company, Charbonneau encountered the established settlement of Mandan and Hidatsa tribes near present-day Bismarck, North Dakota. He settled amongst these tribes as a trapper, laborer, and an interpreter of the Hidatsa language. When Lewis and Clark wintered there, they met Toussaint and his wife Sacagawea. She was 16 or 17 when she and Toussaint joined the expedition on November 4, 1804.
Did toussaint charbonneau join the Lewis and clark expedition?

Charbonneau also provided some assistance as an interpreter and guide during the expedition.
