Sacajawea was invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth, near the Three Forks of the Missouri, and as a interpreter between the expedition and her tribe when the expedition reached that area. After she gave birth during the expedition to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805, she also quieted the fears of other Native Americans, for no war party traveled with a woman and a small baby.
she was a translator for them.
Lewis and Clark were helped by a Native American woman named Sacagawea who acted as an interpreter and guide, as well as several members of the Corps of Discovery expedition team. They also received assistance from various Native American tribes along their journey.
Sacajawea
The routes of Lewis and Clark both involved exploration of the western United States, specifically the Louisiana Purchase territory. They were looking for a water route to the Pacific Ocean and documenting new plant and animal species as well as interactions with Native American tribes along the way.
There were 33 individuals on the expedition, plus Sacajawea.
Lewis and Clark met Sacagawea in November 1804 while staying at Fort Mandan in what is now North Dakota. She was the wife of French-Canadian trader Toussaint Charbonneau and was hired as an interpreter for the expedition due to her knowledge of the Shoshone language and the region.
