Is a Sacajawea coin with arrows on the back rare?
Yes, a Sacajawea coin with arrows on the back is considered rare. This design, known as the "Sacajawea dollar with arrows," was produced in very limited quantities in 2000 and is sought after by collectors. The arrows represent a unique variation of the standard design, making these coins more valuable in the numismatic market. If you have one, it could be worth significantly more than its face value.

What did Sacagawea Lewis and Clark find?
Sacajawea accompanied Lewis and Clark to try to find the Northwest passage in the West. Back then, the Americans in Lewis's and Clark's time thought that the West was a great deserted plain. Lewis and Clark were sent, along with some others, to explore. They found different plants, animals, and land marks. Some of these were different types of flowers, the Rocky Mountains, and buffalo. They also met more Native Americans. At the end Lewis and Clark did not find the Northwest passage, because it does not exist. But they discovered many other things.

Are there any pictures of sacagawea?
Yes at http://www.spock.com/Sacagawea/pictures there are 4. But they are drawings. There are no real pictures.
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. 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.
When did Sacagawea go on the expedition?
When Lewis and Clark wintered at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, there they met Sacagawea and her husband in 1804. Toussaint Charbonneau was interviewed to interpret Hidatsa for the Lewis and Clark expedition, but Lewis and Clark (esp. Clark) were not overly impressed with him. However, Sacagawea his wife spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, so they hired Charbonneau on November 4,1804 and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 at this time.
Was Sacagawea's dog named Cannon?
Sacagawea's , a Soshone Native American, was found by Lewis & Clark. Her dog CANNON and husband Charbonneau then went with Lewis and Clark on their exploration.
Did William Clark raise Sacagawea baby?
clark might have slep with her a few times but other then that there was no love coneion between them
Sacajawea helped with food on the Louis and Clark expedition. She found food (example she found the berries and roots) and kept them healthy. She also negotiated as she spoke multiple languages.
Would Lewis and Clark's expedition have likely been successful with out the help of Sacajawea?
Sacajawea was helpful in communicating with other tribes. As a guide she was more familiar with where and how they had to travel. It is hard to say that it would have been unsuccessful without her but the results might not have been the same.
