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.
In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide at Lemhi Pass, and headed west along the Salmon, Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon on November 5 1805.
The explorers began their journey home on March 23, 1806. On July 3, after crossing the Continental Divide, the Corps split into two teams so Lewis could explore the Marias River. Sacagawea and her husband stayed with Clark's team until they reached the Hidatsa villages.

Was Sacagewea forced to guide Lewis and Clark?
Not at all, far from it actually. Lewis and Clark in fact highly respected her even though she was a Native American and a young woman. She became invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth and as a interpreter between the expedition and her tribe. Lewis and Clark respected her more as a comrade than her husband, a French trapper named Toussaint Charbonneau. Lewis and Clark didn't like how Toussaint treated Sacagawea, and after the expedition, Clark would be the one to raise and educate her son at a time when there was absolutely no opportunity for education for Native Americans.
