Sacagawea

In search of the real history of Sacagawea Sacajawea After the 1999 introduction of a new US dollar coin which features the Shoshone Indian Sacagawea many are interested in the real history of this woman Ironically the picture on the dollar coin is not really a picture of Sacagawea for the simple reason that no known likeness exists of her Little is known of her life either other than her brief brush with fame as a guide to the Lewis and Clark expedition exploring the American West in 1804-1806 Nevertheless the honoring of Sacagawea with her portrait on the new dollar coin follows many other similar honors There are claims that no woman in the US has more statues in her honor Many public schools especially in the Northwest are named for Sacagawea as are mountain peaks streams and lakes Origin Sacagawea was born to the Shoshone Indians about 1788 In 1800 at the age of 12 she was kidnapped by Hidatsa or Minitari Indians and taken from what is now Idaho to what is now North Dakota Later she was sold as a slave to the French Canadian trader Toussaint Charbonneau along with another Shoshone woman He took them both as wives and in 1805 Sacagawea s and Charbonneau s son Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau was born Translator for Lewis and Clark The Lewis and Clark expedition recruited Charbonneau and Sacagawea to accompany them westward expecting to make use of Sacagawea s ability to speak to the Shoshone The expedition expected that they would need to trade with the Shoshone for horses Sacagawea spoke no English but she could translate to Hidatsa to Charbonneau who could translate to French for Francois Labiche a member of the expedition who could translate into English for Lewis and Clark President Thomas Jefferson in 1803 asked for funding from Congress for Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the western territories between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean Clark more than Lewis respected the Indians as fully human and treated them as sources of information rather than as bothersome savages as other explorers too often did Traveling with Lewis and Clark Accompanied by her infant son Sacagawea set out with the expedition for the west Her memory of Shoshone trails proved valuable according to some sources according to others she did not serve as a guide to the trails so much as to useful foods and medicines along the way Her presence as an Indian woman with a baby helped to convince Indians that this party of whites was friendly And her translation skills however indirect from Shoshone to English were also invaluable at several key points The only woman on the trip she also cooked foraged for food and sewed mended and cleaned the clothes of the men In one key incident recorded in Clark s journals she saved records and instruments from being lost overboard during a storm Sacagawea was treated as a valuable member of the party even given a full vote in deciding where to spend the winter of 1805-6 though at the end of the expedition it was her husband and not she who was paid for their work When the expedition reached Shoshone country they encountered a band of Shoshone Surprisingly the leader of the band was Sacagawea s brother Twentieth century legends of Sacagawea have stressed — most scholars would say falsely — her role as a guide in the Lewis and Clark expedition While she was able topoint out a few landmarks and her presence was enormously helpful in many ways it s clear that she did not herself lead the explorers in their cross-continental journey After the Expedition On returning to the home of Sacagawea and Charbonneau the expedition paid Charbonneau with money and land for the work of Sacagawea and himself A few years later Clark apparently arranged for Sacagawea and Charbonneau to settle in St Louis Sacagawea gave birth to a daughter and shortly after died of an unknown illness Clark legally adopted her two children and educated Jean Baptiste some sources call him Pompey in St Louis and Europe He became a linguist and later returned to the west as a mountain man It is unknown what happened to the daughter Lisette The PBS website on Lewis and Clark details the theory of another woman who lived to 100 dying in 1884 in Wyoming who has long been identified mistakenly as Sacagawea Evidence for the early death of Sacagawea include Clark s notation of her as dead in a list of those who were on the journey
