The Shoshone ( [ʃoʊˈʃoʊni] (help·info) or [ʃəˈʃoʊni] (help·info)) are a Native American tribe in the United States with three large divisions: the Northern, the Western and the Eastern. The Northern Shoshone are concentrated in eastern Idaho, western Wyoming, and north-eastern Utah. The Eastern Shoshone tribes lived in Wyoming, northern Colorado and Montana. Conflict with the Blackfoot, Crow, Lakota, Cheyennes, and Arapahos pushed them south and westward after about 1750. The Western Shoshone tribes ranged from central Idaho, northwestern Utah, central Nevada, and in California about Death Valley and Panamint Valley. This group is sometimes called the Panamint. The Idaho groups of Western Shoshone were called Tukuaduka (sheep eaters), while the Nevada/Utah ones were called the Gosiute or Toi Ticutta (cattail eaters).

What tribe Lewis and clark meet?

The Shoshone, which Sacagawea was originally from.


Who did Lewis and Clark meet on their journey and how did this person help them?

Sacagawea really didn't assertively join the expedition. It was her husband Toussaint Charbonneau who was invited and hired by Lewis and Clark as an interpreter, and Sacagawea would at first only serve as a companion. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 when she and her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, joined the Lewis and Clark party on November 4, 1804. However, her skills in interpretation proved superior to her husband's, and Lewis and Clark were impressed. She was also very calm and level-headed in many instances, whereas her husband would often panic so Lewis and Clark learned to trust her guidance more than his. She became invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth, near the Three Forks of the Missouri, and as a interpreter between the expedition and her tribe when the expedition reached that area. After she gave birth during the expedition to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805 she also quieted the fears of other Native Americans, for no war party traveled with a woman and a small baby.
