Sacagawea• Sacagawea went on a expedition with

Lewis, Clark, York ( a slave ), and her husband AKA The Corps of Discovery

• They wanted to map the territory, wanted to search for a North West Passage, and they wanted to make contact with the indians , and bring back specimens of plants and animals

Sacagawea• Lewis and Clark didn’t really want

Sacagawea to come. They wanted her husband , a white man, to be there guide

• Sacagawea proved to be an unexpected asset for the expedition

• They let her be the guide instead of her husband because she knew the land better since she had lived there her whole life

Sacagawea• She had to act as a guide when they

had to trade with other indians • Sacagawea even acted as a peace

symbol because the other indians knew that if she was with the white men willingly Lewis and Clark were not a threat

Sacagawea

Sacagawea• Soon on their journey they would run into

the Rocky Mountains• That is terrifying because the mountains

have very harsh winters and if they don’t get out of them soon they will become trapped and die in the mountains

• They have to find an indian tribe to trade with so they can get horses and move quickly through the mountains

Sacagawea• On August 17, 1805 the Corpse of

Discovery reaches a Shoshone village at the foot of the Rockies

• They get horses there • They only get horses because they

come to find out that the Chief of the tribe is Sacagawea’s long loss and kidnapped brother

Sacagawea• On their journey Sacagawea has her

baby

Sacagawea• Sacagawea died on December 20,

1866 at the fort where her husband was working at after the expedition was over

• She was said to be buried on those grounds
