This cannot be determined as little is known with any certainty of her life before she was kidnapped as an approximately 12 year old child from her tribe in 1800 in what is now Idaho and sold into slavery, eventually being bought by the French trapper Toussaint Charbonneau becoming one of several nonconsensual "wives" at about age 13.

Some stories incorrectly say that Sacajawea's mother was another of Toussaint Charbonneau's nonconsensual "wives" purchased as a slave earlier by the name of Otter Woman (born c.a. 1786-1788), but this is not possible as Otter Woman could not have been more than a year or two older than Sacajawea herself (if that).
