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• 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

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
