After the expedition, William Clark offered Toussaint and Sacajawea a place in St. Louis and a proper education for Jean-Baptiste or "Pompy" in 1809. Note, that this was at a time where there was no opportunity for Native Americans to receive an education. After the death of Sacajawea, Clark would gain full custody of "Pompy" and his sister Lisette in 1813.
