Tsakakawia (incorrectly called Sacagawea by Lewis and Clark) was the Shoshone woman with a Hidatsa name who accompanied the Corps of Discovery.

She certainly did not act as a translator until the expedition arrive in the Shoshone country; she could not speak Lakota or Mandan or Blackfoot or any of the other languages encountered on the route. Her major contribution was simply being a woman, since this marked out the expedition as not being a war party. It was this alone that helped the explorers remain safe.
