Why did clark nickname sacagaweas child little pomp?

Clark nicknamed Sacagawea's child "Little Pomp" as a term of endearment, derived from the Shoshone word "pomp," meaning "first born." The nickname reflected the child’s status as a symbol of hope and unity during the expedition. Additionally, it showcased the bond between the Lewis and Clark expedition members and the indigenous peoples they encountered. The nickname emphasized the positive relationships fostered throughout their journey.

What did Sacagawea receive upon the completion of the journey?

She did not individually receive any compensation or reward, but after the expedition, William Clark offered her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau a place in St. Louis and a proper education for their son 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.
