Sacagawea

she had both a boy and a girl. the boy was named pomp, and the girl was named lisette. pomp was born first.

Sacajawea (or Sacagawea) was born c. 1788. in an Agaidiku tribe of the Lemhi Shoshone in Idaho. In 1800, when she was aboutten years old, , she and several other girls were kidnapped by a group of Hidatsa warriors during a battle. she was forced to marry a person she didnt like

Born around 1788 as a member of the Lemhi band of the Native American Shoshone tribe,
Sacagawea became the property of French-Canadian fur trader Toussaint Charbonneau who married her.
President Thomas Jefferson had made the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803—828,000 square miles of almost completely unexplored territory.
Within this vast wilderness he hoped would lie the rumored Northwest Passage (a waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans). That never existed.

She could identify roots, plants and berries that were either edible or medicinal. And by being with these men (Lewis and Clark) she was able to help them buy horses and understand the tribes they can across.

She died at 25, on December 22, 1812 probably of typhoid fever.

sacgaweas mother died because of old age. She was 45 when she died

She did not receive a proper education according to contemporary Western standards. She would have received a form of survival and native education while growing up. Although her skills as a translator and somewhat of a navigator for Lewis and Clark speaks to her learning potential.

Her husband, Toussiant Charboenou, Pompey, her son, her brother, Shoshone Cheif Camewawiaet, and her mum, Sacajawonoo, and her da, former Cheif Camaniewawawiet. She had no pets. Her tribe was shoshone.

Legends say Sacajawea, a Shoshone maiden was captured by the Hidatsu Indians and brought to their homeland, around what is now Bismarck, North Dakota around 1800 when she was allegedly about 13. She married Toussaint Charbonneau in 1803, making her probably around sixteen. However, no one really knows when she was actually born, so she could have been younger or older when she married the French trapper.

She was with the Corps of Discovery until they arrived back in St. Louis on September 23, 1806. After the expedition, William Clark offered Toussaint and his family 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). After her death, her husband signed over formal custody of his son and his daughter Lisette to William Clark.

Upon Sacagawea's death, her husband Toussaint Charbonneau gave William Clark full custody of their children. This included Jean-Baptiste who was born during the expedition and who Clark had affectionately nicknamed "Pompy" or "Little Pomp." Clark also adopted their daughter Lisette, who was born six years after the expedition ended but who did not survive infancy. William Clark himself already had a big brood to take care of, but he nonetheless gave Jean-Baptiste a formal education in St. Louis at age 18 he traveled around Europe and even Africa. He then returned to become a scout, mountain man and a 49er in the California Gold Rush. He died of pneumonia near Danner, Oregon at age 61.

she teasilated Indian for them and brought a good cook with her

French trappers set up trading posts along the Misissippi river and would trap beavers and otters to trade to the indians.

Sacagawea's motivation was to help her husband

Lewis, Clark, her son Pompy, her daughter Lisette, and her husband Toussanit Charbonneau ( he was french)

She wasn't a guide, as some people believe. She only knew the lands where she grew up.

One myth says that she was "romantically involved" with Lewis or Clark. This is not true.

im sorry 2 say ur wrong but u r. she was kidnapped by an enemy tribe (Hidatsa) then a few years later she was sold or traded to her "husband" Toussaint Charbonneau. That's how she met her husband. By, D.B.

It is clear because of course Sacagawea didn't want to leave her father and home.

She translated to other native American tribes. Plus, she carried her baby Jean on her back. So instead of the expedition being mistakin for an army, other native tribes would never attack a group with a women and an infant. What a cool way of protection!

-The Scholar-

No they did not. Sacajawea was about thirteen years of age when she was bought and taken as a wife by Toussaint Charbonneau, a French trapper. She would join the Lewis and Clark expedition after her husband was interviewed to be an interpreter. Lewis and Clark (esp Clark) weren't overly impressed with his skills, but were impressed with Sacagawea who spoke Hidatsa and Shoshone. Therefore they hired Toussaint and Sacagawea naturally came along.

if it werent for sacagawea the louis and clark expedition may not have been a success

His name was Cameahwait; he was chief of the Shoshone Indians.

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. She was able to translate when they met up with Shoshone-speaking Indians. She told them about some of the geography and any various animals and plants that she was familiar with.

She had been kidnapped from her own tribe and spent many years as a slave or prisoner of another Indian tribe. Once she travelled back to her own native tribal lands with Lewis and Clark, she was able to see her family for the first time in many years. It is important to remember that the entire expedition improvised practically everything as they went along, and Sacajawea and her recruitment for translating were no exception. They were (other than Sacajawea) going into the unknown, and so were entirely unprepared for many things they tried to do.

1 risk Sacagawea had to take in order for her to become a member of the expedition was strap her baby boy to her back and travel with him. reason number 2 is she had to make sure she was not sick because getting sick on the boat would mean more time to succeed in the trip. Although she did not make sure she was healthy because she ended up being very sick, Lewis and Clark had to take care of her in a small tent on the boat. A 3rd reason is, she had to say good bye to her husband. Although he was 40 years old and she was a teen.

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.

Sacagawea was 16 or 17 when she and her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, joined the Lewis and Clark party in the winter of 1804-05. (Her date of birth is uncertain.)
Sacagawea was about 17 when she began the expedition with Lewis and Clark. She also had a two month old son with her.
