Lewis and Clark led the Corps of Discovery expedition from 1804 to 1806, mapping the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and establishing American presence in the region. Sacajawea, a Shoshone woman, served as a guide and interpreter, helping them navigate and communicate with various Native American tribes. Zebulon Pike explored parts of the southern Louisiana Territory, notably the area that would become Colorado, and provided valuable information about the geography and resources of the land. Together, their efforts contributed significantly to the understanding and exploration of the vast territory.
Meriweather Lewis and William Clark were sent by Jefferson to explore the new territory. There were 33 people in the party including Sacajawea and her husband and son.
Sacajawea
Yes, Sacajawea did visit her family during the Lewis and Clark expedition. In 1805, while the expedition was traveling through the territory of the Shoshone tribe, she was reunited with her brother, who was a chief. This meeting was significant as it helped the expedition secure horses needed for their journey across the Rocky Mountains. Sacajawea's connection to her family played a crucial role in the success of the expedition.
Her name was Sacagawea.

She didn't explore. She met Lewis and Clark who were exploring and guided them. They were in her lands of the present day Idaho and Dakotas.
There is no concrete evidence to suggest that William Clark had any romantic feelings towards Sacajawea. Their relationship was primarily based on mutual respect and cooperation during their expedition exploring the western United States. William Clark viewed Sacajawea as a valuable member of the expedition due to her knowledge of the terrain and cultural understanding.
