The Untold Story Of Sacagawea
Sacagawea was one tough lady.

For most people, that’s pretty much the beginning and end of Sacagawea’s story—but they’d be wrong. From her perilous childhood to her nightmare of a marriage, there’s so much more to know about this Indigenous icon.

Sacagawea, The True Story - The Lemhi Shoshone Guide of the Lewis and Clark Expedition
Sacagawea (/səˌkɑːɡəˈwiːə/; also Sakakawea or Sacajawea; May c. 1788 – December 20, 1812 or April 9, 1884) was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who, at age 16, met and helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition in achieving their chartered mission objectives by exploring the Louisiana Territory. Sacagawea traveled with the expedition thousands of miles from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean, helping to establish cultural contacts with Native American populations and contributing to the expedition's knowledge of natural history in different regions.

The Truth About Sacajawea's Death
After President Thomas Jefferson made the enormous Louisiana Purchase in 1803, he needed someone to go check out what he had just bought. So, he sent explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, along with a party of other men. However, there was another person on the journey who truly did much of the hard work.
That was Sacajawea, a Shoshone woman who guided Lewis and Clark through the territory. The details of her life and death are disputed to this day, as there are multiple grave markers with her name. According to one account, she died in 1812, but another puts her death in 1884 - a pretty drastic difference. Let’s take a look at the truth about Sacajawea’s death.

Sacajawea Historical State Park
Imagine standing at a place where Native American people encountered the Lewis and Clark Expedition on its westward journey.

Sacagawea (Sacajawea): Teenage Mother Who Saved the Lewis and Clark Expedition | Biography
Kidnapped and sold into marriage to a man 20 years her senior, Sacagawea (with a newborn baby on her back) ended up playing a vital role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, where she acted as an interpreter, guide and “pilot,” and a symbol of peace to the natives who were wary of the gun-wielding white explorers. Sacagawea’s life story is full of triumph and tragedy.
In this video, I share a history of Sacagawea’s life (Sacajawea’s life), and how she became the heroine of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
In the spring of 1788, Sacagawea was born into a clan of northern Shoshone known as the Agaidika, the salmon-eaters. When Sacagawea was twelve, one of the neighboring tribes, the gun-wielding Hidatsa, launched a sudden and violent raid. Killing a number of men, women and boys, but kidnapp...

Imagine standing at a place where Native American people encountered the Lewis and Clark Expedition on its westward journey.
On Oct. 16, 1805, the Corps of Discovery arrived at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia rivers, the site of today's Sacajawea Historical State Park. They camped for two nights amidst a thriving community of Native American cultures.
As most Washingtonians know, a Shoshone woman named Sacagawea* was instrumental in the Expedition’s success. Not only did she work alongside the men, she was an interpreter and an emissary of peace between the white explorers and Native American tribes.
Central to the park named for her is the Sacajawea Interpretive Center. Open April 1 to Oct. 31, (call 509 545-2361 for hours), the museum features interactive exhibits on the Corps of Discovery, Sacagawea and the Sahaptian-speaking tribes of the region. Stroll the green, tree-shaded grounds, and read the seven story circle installations by internationally known artist Maya Lin.
Once you’ve absorbed this fascinating history, head for the beach. Depending on the season, hundreds of birds flock to these inland waters, and boaters enjoy the two rivers, while kids play on the lawns and parents relax.
As evening falls, stand on the riverside, and picture the area as it must have been in 1805. If you weren’t a Lewis and Clark buff before, you may find your curiosity piqued by this interesting park.

Sacagawea (Sacajawea): Teenage Mother Who Saved the Lewis and Clark Expedition | Biography
Kidnapped and sold into marriage to a man 20 years her senior, Sacagawea (with a newborn baby on her back) ended up playing a vital role in the Lewis and Clark ...
Kidnapped and sold into marriage to a man 20 years her senior, Sacagawea (with a newborn baby on her back) ended up playing a vital role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, where she acted as an interpreter, guide and “pilot,” and a symbol of peace to the natives who were wary of the gun-wielding white explorers. Sacagawea’s life story is full of triumph and tragedy.
In this video, I share a history of Sacagawea’s life (Sacajawea’s life), and how she became the heroine of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
In the spring of 1788, Sacagawea was born into a clan of northern Shoshone known as the Agaidika, the salmon-eaters. When Sacagawea was twelve, one of the neighboring tribes, the gun-wielding Hidatsa, launched a sudden and violent raid. Killing a number of men, women and boys, but kidnapping the young girls, including Sacagawea.
The origin of the name Sacagawea appears to be Hidatsa, not Shoshone, meaning bird-woman in the language of her captors. When she was thirteen years old, she was sold as one of two wives to a French trapper, Toussaint Charbonneau. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were tasked with exploring the recently purchased Louisiana Territory, and they hired Charbonneau so he would bring along his teenage wife (with their newborn baby) since she could function as an interpreter.
Sacagawea’s importance to the success of the Lewis and Clark Expedition is clear from the daily diaries the explorers kept. She not only acted as a guide and “pilot” through dangerous mountain passes, she also helped the explorers identify which native plants were edible when they were on the verge of starvation, and was a symbol of peace to the native tribes since war parties in their culture never traveled with women.
Sacagawea’s memory was revived a century after her death by the suffragette movement. The story of the crucial role she played in Lewis and Clark’s expedition, including voting on at least one important decision along with the men, became symbolic of female strength and influence.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were tasked with exploring the recently purchased Louisiana Territory, and they hired Charbonneau so he would bring along his teenage wife (with their newborn baby) since she could function as an interpreter.
Sacagawea’s importance to the success of the Lewis and Clark Expedition is clear from the daily diaries the explorers kept. She not only acted as a guide and “pilot” through dangerous mountain passes, she also helped the explorers identify which native plants were edible when they were on the verge of starvation, and was a symbol of peace to the native tribes since war parties in their culture never traveled with women.
Sacagawea’s memory was revived a century after her death by the suffragette movement. The story of the crucial role she played in Lewis and Clark’s expedition, including voting on at least one important decision along with the men, became symbolic of female strength and influence.
