Sacajawea was important because she was a Shoshone which live in the Rockies which is where Lewis and Clark needed to travel so she new how to navigate the expedition. She also helped with trading horses because the Shoshone had good horses and she could speak 4 languages. Sacajawea was also very resourceful, which helped when the expedition had to abandon some of they're belongings when they had to continue on foot.
