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.
Lewis so respected Clark that he made him a co-commanding captain of the Expedition, even though Clark was never recognized as such by the government. Jefferson hoped that Lewis and Clark would find a water route linking the Columbia and Missouri rivers.
