Sacagawea ~ Sacajawea ~ Sakakawea. The only Native American woman who served as an interpreter and guide for the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805 and 1806. As a child, she had been taken by members of the Hidatsa Tribe and lived among them. Later she was sold to a French-Canadian trapper named Toussaint Charbonneau.
John Colter, a member of the Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-6) who set off on his own to explore the Rocky Mountains, was probably the first white American to visit what is now the state of Wyoming (although the Verendrye brothers, Louis-Joseph and Francois, may have pushed that far west in 1742-43).
