because they had Sacajawea an Indian to guid them

As a team (although Lewis was the primary agent), Lewis and Clark influenced no less significant a person than the President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, in their attempt to help the United States grow both territorially and economically. With their wilderness and leadership experience as legitimizing factors, Lewis and Clark were instrumental in decisions made by the American government to look carefully westwards for opportunities to expand as a nation.
That would be "Who was the Shoshone guide on the Lewis and Clark expedition?" and the answer is the young Shoshone girl with a Hidatsa name: Tsakakawia (Bird Woman). This name was incorrectly spelled Sacagawea by Lewis and Clark and later spelled even less accurately by a loony newspaper man as Sacajawea.

she translateded for them and helped make native Americans less afraid of the white men.
To answer that question, I have to say first that it did not begin in St. Louis, because before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt. William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). They then named their team the 'Corps of Discovery'. From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis. The expedition then ended on September 23, 1806 upon their return to St. Louis from Oregon.If you say the expedition began on October 13, 1803 when Clark joined in, the expedition took more or less 25,790 hours.If you say the expedition began when Lewis first left Pittsburgh on August 30, 1803, then the expedition took more or less 26,880 hours.

Yes- she had a baby shortly after she joined the Lewis and Clark party. She took her baby with her on the journey and having a mother with a baby in the party made them seem less likely to be dangerous to the native tribes they encountered.
No, she did not. Sacajawea (1788-1812?) was a Native-American in the territories now the northwest US. These tribes did not have schools, much less colleges when Sacajawea was alive (she accompanied Lewis and Clark on their 1805 expedition).

This question needs more context in order to be answered. Try re-phrasing the question. If you are referring to Lewis and Clark, they travelled more than 8,000 miles in less than two and a half years on their famous expedition.
