Sacagawea & The Corps of Discovery

Sacagawea and Discovery Legion When you open a book and read the stories about Lewis and Clark exploration, you may read a woman named Sakagavia. But who is Sacagawea? About 1788, Sakagawa was born today in the Remy Valley in Idaho. In the next 12 years, she grew up as a child of Shoshone. Everyone in the community is responsible while everyone is making friends. Children should work very hard and teach kindly from very young age.

Sakagawia was valuable when a corps was discovered in the modern Idaho and Montana states to reach the Shoshone Indians in mid August 1805. Her brother, Cameahwait, became the new president of the Shoshone tribe, and at her request, her brothers agreed to sell some horses to Lewis and Clark expedition. The next encounter was the Nez Perce native American tribe. Another friendly and enthusiastic person provides evacuation centers for tired explorers and supplies medicine to expedition patients. Nez Perce also helped the discovery team build some new canoes, so that explorers could continue their water journey. Meriwether Lewis described Nez Perce's native American tribe as "the most passionate, sincere and sincere person we met on the voyage."

South Dakota Mob Bridge: The Sakagabia monument is an obelisk built at an estimated place of her death, commemorating the contribution to the discovery of Sakagabia and expedition as a member of the Shoshone. The relevant mark said, "Set her death on December 20, 1812 and said her body must be buried near the old Manuel Fort 30 meters north of the Wind River Indian Settlement in Wyoming State : Oral tradition, Sakagawia left her husband Tschang Sharu Bonnow to escape to Wyoming in the 1860's; her so-called burial site was located in the cemetery of the reserve, and her death Is judged by a tombstone inscription on April 9, 1884 and shows that a woman named Borivo (recorded as 'Brazilian mother') occupied the grave

Sacagawea was pregnant with her first child when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark met Mandan Fort's Charbonneau in November 1804. When Charlevone was finally hired as a translator, Sakagawa has already borne a boy. Sacagawea and her son Jean Batiste became the only mother-child team to join the expedition. When the Corps left the Mandenburg in 1805, the greatest need was to find Shoshoni Indians selling their horses in the mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Lewis and Clark believe that Sakagavia can help by identifying landmarks along the way and helping to find Shoshoni camps. Sacagawea sometimes served as a guide, but she also helped adventure in other valuable ways. One of her most important tasks is to serve as an interpreter. Sacagawea does not speak English, but Shoshone and Hidatsa said. Her husband speaks French with Hidatsa and other corps members speak French and English.
