Sacagawea

Sacajawea was willing to take risks and travel with Lewis and Clark primarily for the sake of her family and her people. Accompanying the expedition provided her with an opportunity to aid her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, and contribute to the survival and success of the group. Additionally, she saw it as a chance to gather knowledge and resources that could benefit her Shoshone tribe, as well as to reclaim her cultural identity after being taken from her people. Her invaluable skills as a translator and guide further motivated her involvement in the journey.

They ate each other's penuses.

were to help Lewis and Clark find the Northeast passage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Toussaint Charbonneau was a Hidatsa Indian.

This is NOT true. My husband is a direct decendent from his fathers side. Toussaint Charbonneau was French-Canadian. His family came to Canada in 1609. He had two American-Indian wives and three children. He might have had as many as five wives but they are not recorded. He did not die as was told in history. He was killed by a women because he raped his daughter. History has it that he was not a very well liked man, but that Lewis & Clark became fond of Jean-Baptist, his son with Sacagawea, and after she had died, Toussaint had signed over custody of both Jean-Baptist and Lisset so that could get a formal education.

The best answer is...Idaho =)

All US coins dated 2000 have the word LIBERTY on them. Which one?

Sacagawea was sold (or possibly won in a bet) to a French-Canadian fur trader named Toussaint Charbonneau. Historical information as to when Charbonneau took Sacagawea as his wife is sketchy and sometimes inconsistent. The Lewis and Clark journals specifically refer to Sacagawea as Charbonneau's wife in an entry dated November 4, 1804.

She gathered food. Such as nuts and berries...=)

people thought it was not right for a native girl to guide men on an expedition

Tanner: Awesome cool nice fun talented

I hate it

this thing is a retard aka flippin dumb

When she was 12, she was captured and taken to the Hidasta tribe and was forced to work. She was a Shoshone Indian previously.

it was really obvious.

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, and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 at this time.

she helped interperste the native american lanquage to lewis and clark

Same person as the " Western Sky Girl" Kylie Fairbanks is the name she is known as

Sacagawea was 16 or 17 when she and her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, joined the Lewis and Clark party on November 4, 1804. She was with the Corps of Discovery until they arrived back in St. Louis on September 23, 1806. So exactly 1 year, 10 months, and 20 days.

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.

Sacagawea saved journals

Sacagwea new the land, language, and symbols.

no Sacajawea was NOT a medicine woman.

It is hard to believe one specific story about Sacagawea's final years because there is not a lot of evidence to study.
