Before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt.

In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide, and headed west along the Salmon, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon. The expedition then ended on September 23, 1806 upon their return to St. Louis from Oregon.

Her daughter Lizette was born in late 1810 or in 1811, before Sacajawea's reported death in 1812.
