She is a tall girl with long black hair. She also did not show much of her emotions.

The Hidatsa attacked her tribe and captured Sacagawea.

Very little is know about her and her choldhood

When Toussaint settled among the Mandan and Hidatsa tribes near present-day Bismarck, North Dakota, he purchased two captive Shoshone women: Sacagawea and "Otter Woman", from the Hidatsa.After the expedition and after Sacagawea's death, evidence suggests he gained another wife, much younger than himself while living at Fort Mandan. He had no children by her, and they were not married long before he died.

Sacagawea was kidnapped by a tribe called The Hidasta tribe when she was 10 to 12 years old.

She did otherwise she wouldn't have been born!

sacajawea was 5 feet tall

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. She was able to translate when they met up with Shoshone-speaking Indians. She told them about some of the geography and any various animals and plants that she was familiar with.

After the expedition, William Clark offered Toussaint and his family a place in St. Louis and a proper education for Jean-Baptiste (at a time where there was no opportunity for Native Americans to receive an education). He then took a job with the Missouri Fur Company, and stayed at Fort Manuel Lisa in present-day North Dakota. Evidence suggests that, while Charbonneau was on an expedition with the company in 1812, Sacagawea died at the fort. The following year Charbonneau signed over formal custody of his son and his daughter Lisette to William Clark. During the period of 1811-38, Charbonneau also worked for the Upper Missouri Agency's Indian Bureau as a translator. He may have gained this position by the patronage of William Clark, who was the governor of the Missouri Territory. He is said to have died at Fort Mandan.

well i guess that's about it...

:)

She was a Shoshone, had been kidnapped as a young girl, taken away from her family, and the Chief was her brother.

Lewis and Clark met Charbonneau and quickly hired him to serve as interpreter on their expedition. Even though she was pregnant with her first child, Sacagawea was chosen to accompany them on their mission. Lewis and Clark believed that her knowledge of the Shoshone language would help them later in their journey.

Lewis and Clark did value Bird Woman. She was instrumental in obtaining horses from her brother, Cameahwait, and the Lemhi Shoshoni tribe. She recognized landmarks in her home country that encouraged the Corps of Discovery that they were in the right country. She gathered food such a roots to give them a supplement of carbohydrates to their high protein diet.

Sacagawea's had 7 sisters and a brother cameahwait, mikse,kiea,opei,ipol,jikesas,carei,and Mary AND THAT'S TRUE

She had been kidnapped from her own tribe and spent many years as a slave or prisoner of another Indian tribe. Once she travelled back to her own native tribal lands with Lewis and Clark, she was able to see her family for the first time in many years. It is important to remember that the entire expedition improvised practically everything as they went along, and Sacajawea and her recruitment for translating were no exception. They were (other than Sacajawea) going into the unknown, and so were entirely unprepared for many things they tried to do.

Other Indians were helpful also, for instance when the expedition first overwintered in Dakota Territory, they nearly starved because the Americans didn't understand what they would need to do to store enough food for the winter. At a frontier Dakota fort, by heating and pounding broken cast iron from an abandoned stove into crude hatchets they were able to barter for enough corn to barely get through the winter. Next spring, when they walked hundreds of miles westward, they found the Indians had already traded those very tools out as far as Wyoming.

Late next winter, when they were coming out of the mountains in the Nez Perce tribe territory of Idaho, they were cold, poorly clothed, and nearly starved again. The Nez Perce could easily have overwhelmed them in a massacre and stolen their rifles and gunpowder to use for protection against other Indian tribes. But, the Nez Perce held a council and decided to let the white men live and help nourish them back to health. Other tribes were hostile, and Lewis and Clark had many close calls with them. But, the generosity of the Nez Perce was the foundation for a great enduring friendship.

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.
