After the expedition, William Clark offered Toussaint and Sacajawea a place in St. Louis and a proper education for Jean-Baptiste (at a time where there was no opportunity for Native Americans to receive an education). Toussaint then took a job with the Missouri Fur Company, and stayed at Fort Manuel Lisa in present-day North Dakota. Evidence suggests that Sacagawea died at the fort in 1812. After her death, Toussaint signed over complete custody of his son Jean-Baptiste and his daughter Lisette over to William Clark. Jean-Baptiste was educated by Clark in St. Louis and then, at age 18 was sent to Europe. In May 1866, while returning from California, Charbonneau died of pneumonia near Danner, Oregon at age 61.
