november 1804
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. :)
When Lewis and Clark wintered at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, there they met Sacagawea and her husband 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 his wife spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, so they hired Charbonneau on November 4, and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 at this time.
They picked up Sacajawea.
Thousands of dollars. He left the journey up to the slaves also , but some for free with sacagawea's help.
Sacajawea (i probably spelt it wrong though)
They left for their expedition in the Sept. of 1803 under the permission of Thomas Jefferson our 3rd president. They met up with the Native American sacajawea in 1804.
The Lewis and Clark expedition opened up the West for settlement. :]
Yes, Sacagawea did help Lewis and Clark. She served as a guide to them, and majorly contributed to their finding the Pacific Ocean. However, she received no reward for her services to them during the expedition.
Both Lewis and Clark grew up in the state of Virginia. However, once they were of age, they moved to Louisville, Kentucky.
After Sacagawea was captured by the Hidatsa, she became the wife of Toussaint Charbonneau, a fur trader. Then, Lewis and Clark came looking for a translater and she joined them with her newly born child, Jean-Baptiste. They traveled up the Missouri River, across the Rocky Mountains, and went to the Pacific Ocean.
No they did not. On their homeward trip back, Lewis and Clark went their separate ways. They later met up.
In 1803, Thomas Jefferson commissioned Capt. Meriwether Lewis and Lt. William Clark to explore what is now the northwest United States. The party of nearly thirty men including Lewis and Clark, three sergeants, twenty two enlisted men, volunteers, interpreters, departed St. Louis in May 1804 heading up the Missouri River. They wintered at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, where they acquired a guide and translator, the Shoshone woman Sacagawea. In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide, and headed west along the Salmon, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They returned to St. Louis the following year. Louis and Clark were very famous historical explorers.They captured Sacagawea and York. York was a slave for them on the aventure and wasn't set free until 6 years went by. Sacagawea, well you should know who she is and if you don't type in "Who is Sacagawea"
