1.) She became valuable as a guide in the region of her birth, near the Three Forks of the Missouri

2.) Served as a great interpreter between the expedition and her tribe, the Shoshone, when the expedition reached that area.

3.) Quieted the fears of other Native Americans, for no war party traveled with a woman and a small baby.

3.) She traded horses so they could get over the Rocky Mountains.

4.) On May 14th, 1805 a great gust of wind tipped one of their white pirogues over and inside were the papers, instruments, books, and medicine. As Charbonneau panicked, it was Sacagawea who stayed calm and gathered up the articles that were floating out into the river. As Lewis said, "The Indian woman, to whom I ascribe equal fortitude and resolution with any person on board at the time of the accident, caught and preserved most of the light articles which were washed overboard."

5.) After reaching the Pacific, Lewis and Clark split up on July 3, 1806 during their return trip. Sacagawea, her child and Charbonneau went with Clark and she guided them perfectly through the Bitterroot Valley, through Lost Trail Pass to Big Hole Pass.
