Sacagawea

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 this time the Hidatsa lived near the Mandan River in North Dakota.

Lewis and Clark thought Sacagawea was invaluable because she earned respect because Sacagawea saved their lives.

Sacajawea helped lead Lewis and Clark on the expedition because she knew the land and was trying to help Luis and Clark. They also had a slave with them named York. York was there to help the travelers relationships with the Natives. He was also there to help them hunt. York was the only slave known that was allowed to carry a gun.

There's very little information concerning Sacagawea after the expedition. Some Native American oral traditions relate that rather than dying in 1812, Sacagawea left her husband Charbonneau, crossed the Great Plains and married into a Comanche tribe, then returned to the Shoshone in Wyoming where she died in 1884.

If you got it in pocket change spend it.

Because ultimately, if they were ever stopped or taken by tribes along their journey, having a baby would show they had peaceful intent and were not a hostile war party, as it was known that indian war parties did not travel with women and children in their group.

Some people say that she just died in 1812... but then other people think that she instead left her husband Toussaint Charbonneau and married into the Comanche tribe soon after returning to her own tribe.

My honest opinion is that, Sacagawea's life lesson was to realize and help other girls realize that life's not always perfect and every once and awhile she will be going through stuff. A perfect example of a strong independent women.

Lewis was born in Albemarle County, Virginia, his family being neighbors to Jefferson. Like Jefferson he was a planter, a Republican (different than the modern political party), and a deist. He became an admiring protege of Jefferson long before the expedition, and was serving as paymaster of the First Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army when Jefferson recruited him as his private corresponsence secretary at the White House on February 3, 1801. Lewis arrived on April 1, 1801 and settled in the East Room.

Sacagawea was home schooled by her mother at the age of 7.

After the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Tousaint Charbonneau tried to farm for a while, and worked for the Upper Missouri Agency's Indian Bureau as a translator. He worked for fur companies and as a guide for people from outside the region. His last known wife, an Assiniboine girl, was 14 when she married him in 1837.

Pomp is Sacajawea's son. Son of a french fur trader. He was born on February 11,1805. Pomp was born during the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Sacagawea died December 20, 1812. Sacagawea (often spelled Sacajawea) was recorded as having died of a fever at the age of 24 or 25, on December 20, 1812, leaving behind her infant daughter Lizzie (born 1810). However, an oral tradition among Amerindian tribes is that she actually left her French trapper husband and remarried into a Comanche tribe, raising a family and dying at the age of 96 in 1884.

By starting a tradition of action for social and political change.

In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide at Lemhi Pass, and headed west along the Salmon, Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon on November 7 1805. The day was rainy and foggy, and the Columbia River estuary was four or five miles wide and they could not see the Oregon side of the river or Point Adams at the mouth of the river in the distance. But they were close enough to have reached their goal.

Lewis and Clark called Sacajawea, Janey. Clark decided she looked like a girl he knew and called her Janey.

We remember historical personalities like Sacagawea because of the role they played in history, and the events in which they were involved.

We don't know what the other brother and sisters name was but we know 1 brothers name and that is Cameahwait ( Ka ME ah wait ). Who became the chief of the Shoshone ( Sho SHO nee ) Indian tribe after his father died.

sacagawea was married to french-canaian toussaint carbonneau in 1804.

Sacagawea was a Native American who helped show Louis and Clark (on the Louis and Clark Expedition) around the West.

The West had just been bought from Napoleon by Thomas Jefferson so there was still so much to learn about it.

If it wasn't for her, Louis and Clark might not have succeeded in their Expedition and the West might not be what it is today!

She was a very independent women who changed the world she was an expert on the world

she was a sweet and nice woman. She is also in the face of a $1 coin!

Sacagawea was 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 also quieted the fears of other Native Americans, for no war party traveled with a woman and a small baby (her son Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau). She also showed them various new plants and tricks for surviving in the wilderness.

The Indian guide for the Lewis and Clark expedition was Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman who played a crucial role in aiding the expedition by serving as an interpreter and negotiator with various Native American tribes encountered along the journey. Sacagawea's knowledge of the land and her ability to communicate effectively helped the expedition navigate unfamiliar territory and establish diplomatic relations with indigenous peoples. Her presence also helped to demonstrate the peaceful intentions of the expedition to the tribes they encountered.

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.
