They needed a translator.
Sacagawea! I am spelling it phonetically (by sounding it out) but that is her.
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.
Well they hired her husband to translate and they took her along too.
Sacagawea wouldn't have been known for her famous expedition that she lead Lewis and Clark on
Lewis, Clark, Sacagawea's Husband, Sacagawea, 45 members, and bunch of People in there.
