=﻿Her Life= The information about Sacagawea is very limited. She was born in 1790 in the tribe of Lemhi Shoshone. When she was about twelve years old, her and many other girls were kidnapped by a group of Hidatsa in a battle that resulted in death in four men, four women and several boys. She was taken captive to a Hidatsa village near what today is called Washburn, North Dakota. When she was thirteen she was taken by Toussaint Charbonneau, a fur trapper as his wife. He also had taken a girl named Otter Woman as his wife.

=﻿Her Expedition= Sacagawea was extremely helpful during the Lewis and Clark expedition. The reason is because she had great knowledge of the land. The Lewis and Clark expedition spent the winter at Fort Mandan where Sacajawea's baby was born on Feburary 11 or 12 in 1805. The expedition resumed on April 7,1805. The took the route of the Missouri River, west of the mountains. On May 14,1805 her boat was hit by a storm squall. During this event Sacagawea reacted very calm and therefore none of their lougage was damaged. Sacagawea guided mainly the direction of the route. On August 15,1805 Sacagawea was reunited with her tribe. Then she found out that all of her family had died with the exception of two brothers and the son of her sister who was adopted. One of her brothers was made the Cheif of the Shoshoe tribe. He agreed to sell some of their horses for the expedition, he took them through the mountains to Nez Perce counry where they continued the expedition. After the expedition was over in the summer of 1806 Sacajawea, her son and her husband remained at Fort Mandan where Louis and Clark found them.

=﻿Hardships she faced=
 * Her boat was hit by a storm and she overcame this hardship by staying calm and capturing everything important.
 * When realizing that all of her family was dead except a few people, instead of being sad and giving up, she put it aside and kept moving forward.
 * When she got kidnapped she probably felt depressed because she misses her family.
 * She had a baby to take care of on top of the expedition.
