Sacagawea

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.

She would give birth during the expedition to Pom-Pom Charbonneau on February 11, 1805 at Fort Mandan in North Dakota. Six years after the expedition ended in 1806, Sacagawea gave birth to a daughter, Lisette on December 22 1812 while she and her husband were living in St. Louis. After that Sacagawea died of an illness.

No. .She lived in VA and by 1616 she had died in England and the Pilgrims didn't land until 1620. The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

Native Americans did not have last names. We were only given last names when European contacts forced them onto us-so they were Anglicized names such as "John" and "Williams". Sacagawea did not have a last name.

She is seen as the woman who helped Lewis and Clark succeed in their journey to the Pacific and back. She was considered important enough to have her portrait on a one dollar gold colored coin.

Sacagawea actually had quite a difficult life. She was taken away from her people at a young age and likely forced to marry and white trapper.

No one knows the day or the month, but the year was 1788. Historians think she may have been born in March, the moon of rushing waters.

Sacajawea (or Sacagawea) was born c. 1788. in an Agaidiku tribe of the Lemhi Shoshone in Idaho. In 1800, when she was about twelve, she and several other girls were kidnapped by a group of Hidatsa warriors during a battle. At about thirteen years of age, Sacagawea was taken as a wife by Toussaint Charbonneau, a French trapper living in the village, who had also taken another young Shoshone named Otter Woman as a wife. Lewis and Clark would winter at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, where they met her. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 when she and her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, joined the Lewis and Clark party on November 4, 1804. 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. She would give birth during the expedition to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805, whom Clark later raised and educated. She also quieted the fears of other Native Americans, for no war party traveled with a woman and a small baby. She was with the Corps of Discovery until they arrived back in St. Louis on September 23, 1806. 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 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. Some Native American oral traditions relate that rather than dying in 1812, Sacagawea left her husband Toussaint Charbonneau, crossed the Great Plains and married into a Comanche tribe, then returned to the Shoshone in Wyoming where she died in 1884. After her death, Toussaint signed over complete custody of his son Jean-Baptiste and his daughter Lisette over to William Clark.

Sacagawea and Presidential dollar coins are legal tender anywhere in the US and should be accepted in payment by any store.

The only limitations on their use might be vending machines that haven't yet been modified to accept dollar coins.

Good translator, knows her surroundings, speaks many different languages, knows plants and animals, and knows what food to eat and what food to not eat.

Sacajawea saw a whale when it was the end of the expedition.

Sacagawea was born c. 1766 into an Agaidiku ("Salmon Eater") tribe of Lemhi Shoshone between Kenney Creek and Agency Creek about twenty minutes away from Hayden and Bear Trail Creeks in the city of Salmon in Lemhi County, Idaho.

umm...he may sucide him

Her exact date of birth is unknown, but she was believed to be about 24 years old when she died.

Paper money is printed, coins are struck and no gold in the coin. No known die errors

In 1788, Sacagawea was born.

In 1800, she was captured by the Hidatsa.

In 1805, she explored with Lewis and Clark.

The point of dancing with the stars is to watch people dance good. Oh, and get off this site I need facts for a project!

Sacagawea and husband Charbonneau had two children, a son named Jean Baptiste and a daughter called Lisette.

He did a little translating, cooked well (he was French Canadian), but otherwise just annoyed everyone.

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).

she wrapped him on to a cradleboard and strapped him on her back.

Jean Baptiste Charbonneau was 61.

She was 6 months pregnat with her first child
