The greatest explorers of the west Lewis and Clark, but they did not go alone to explore the west they had a marvelous woman to help them in their journey. Sacagawea earned the respect of Lewis and Clark because she proved herself in many trials during the expedition. At the age of twelve Sacagawea was captured by a neighboring tribe and they made her a slave for that tribe. Sacagawea would then be won by her husband in a poker game, which would lead her to the meeting of Lewis and Clark. During the expedition Sacagawea would also care for her newborn child (Hoose 130-132). Sacagawea is a legendary women still to this day for people and has memorials dedicated in her honor for the Lewis and Clark expedition. Sacagawea's life as a guide …show more content…
and the statues that are dedicated in her honor. Sacagawea’s early life taught her to make her strong.
The tribe Sacagawea lived in as a child was the Shoshone tribe. She was born in 1788, and her father was chief of the tribe Shoshone. The Shoshone tribe was a nomadic tribe and that the tribe Sacagawea came from was not the only Shoshone tribe. The Shoshone tribe Sacagawea spent her adolescent years in was stationed in the Rocky mountains of Idaho (“Shoshone Tribe Facts”). Amidst to being from that tribe she learned how to dig and gather things that could be used as a medicine.Sacagawea would learn how to gather the food like, roots, planets, and berries that could be used for medicine (“Sacagawea”).

her. Sacagawea's tribe life ended quickly leading to the meeting of her husband. Her tribe would be attacked by a neighboring tribe that would capture Sacagawea and another girl from the Shoshone tribe. The Shoshone tribe had an unfair advantage to the Hidatsa tribe when they had attacked them. The Hidatsa tribe owned guns, which they would kill Sacagawea parents and other members of the tribe. Subsequently taking Sacagawea away from her tribe, she would be won in a gambling game with another girl from her tribe by Toussaint Charbonneau. Charbonneau was a Fur trader who believed he was a part of the Native American tribes, and took on their traditions (Hoose 130-132). The other girl and Sacagawea were to be made Charbonneau wife's, which they would later meet Lewis and Clark in Bismarck, North Dakota. Next, she met Lewis and Clark. When meeting Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea was six months pregnant with her son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. The reason Lewis and Clark choose Sacagawea, is that they notice she could speak two languages that was native to the tribes in the west. The languages Sacagawea spoke was Hidatsa and Shoshone, which Charbonneau spoke French and Hidatsa with them it would make it easier for them to talk to the Native Americans in the tribe. The way the explorers would communicate, is that Sacagawea would talk to some of the tribes in Shoshone than repeat to Charbonneau in Hidatsa. He would repeat back in French to Francis Banishes in which Francis Banishes translates to English back to the captains (“Sacagawea”). Sacagawea would leave for the exploration on April 18005. Sacagawea’s friendship with Clark and ready to help for the group. Sacagawea would gain the friendship of Clark from a heroic event that would lead to her saving valuable information. On May 14, 1805, Sacagawea canoe would almost flip over in the water with the information of what they have discovered from traveling (“Sacagawea”). A recording in a journal from Clark about Sacagawea saving the information, “Had the (canoe) been lost, I should have valued my life but little.. The Indian woman to whom I ascribe equal fortitude and resolution with any person on board at the time of the accident caught and preserved most of the light articles which were washed overboard” (Hoose 132). After saving the information, Sacagawea would earn the respect of not only Clark but the other members for being able to help gather food for them. The ending of Sacagawea exploration with Lewis and Clark, it would leave on a good note before her departure from Lewis and Clark.
Since the exploration was through the Rocky Mountains of Idaho and is also where Sacagawea’s tribe was before the attack. On August 17, 1805 Sacagawea would be reunited with her older brother, Cameahwait, chief of the Shoshone tribe. Sacagawea would then ask her brother for Horses, which with receiving the horses they would travel further north making it between Washington and Oregon to the Pacific ocean. After Lewis and Clark would give Charbonneau 320 acres of land in North Dakota and $500.33
(“Sacagawea”). Sacagawea’s life after the expedition with Lewis and Clark. Researches are not really sure about what happened after she left, but there is a lot of controversy on when she died. The one fact researches are sure about is that she had a second child with Charbonneau and at some point left him. A journal from Clark states that she died at age twenty-five in the year of 1812, it was a couple month after giving birth. Sacagawea’s children went to live with Clark after her death and the second child died a year after staying with Clark. The other death date Sacagawea has is that she died in the year of 1884 (Hoose 134). Sacagawea’s legacy and the inspiration she is now. There are many national parks that have statues of Sacagawea, and she has one park that is dedicated to the accomplishments of her. The one statue that stands out the most is located at Sacajawea Park at Three Forks, Montana, it is named Coming Home. The Statue is located where Sacagawea was captured by the Hidatsa tribe. The statue is of Sacagawea sits down holding, her son, as shown in figure 1 below. The plaque below, the statute states, “An Indian woman whose heroic courage, steadfast devotion a splendid loyalty in acting a guide across the rocky mountains made it possible for Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804-1806) to occupy so important a place in the history of this Republic” (“Sacagawea”). Sacagawea proved herself in many ways during the expedition and earned the statues in her honor. She grew up in the Shoshone tribe that taught her at a young age to use the resources around her. Sacagawea had a great childhood before her tribe was attacked by the Hidatsa tribe and being won by her husband in a poker game. After she was won by her husband in a poker game, he would take her to meet Lewis and Clark to be a part of the expedition in the west. The expedition would lead to her being reunited with her older brother. Sacagawea’s life after the expedition no one really knows, what she did after the expedition just like the controversy of her death year. She would later have statues made in her honor for the accomplishments in the expedition. Sacagawea was one of the most helpful explores in traveling the uncharted west, she was a marvelous women.
Third, Clark and Lewis couldn’t finish the journey without a little bit of help. Clark and Lewis gained their help from Sacagawea and her husband Charbonneau. Sacagawea was a member of the Shoshone tribe and was taken by the prisoner by the members of the Hidatsa tribe. Her Husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, was an self-sufficient trader who lived among the Hidatsas. Lewis and Clark were offered a deal by a Charbonneau to sign on as a interpreter, because of his Sacagawea. Sacagawea was very big contribution to the Lewis and Clark expedition. She could read maps very well and she could sense in what direction they were to go. Lewis and Clark didn’t have much transportation until Sacagawea negotiated with the Shoshone for horses. Sacagawea was
Sacagawea, also known as Bird Woman, was born to a Shoshone chief in 1788, in Salmon, Idaho. At the age of twelve, she was captured and sold to the French Canadian fur trader, Toussaint Charbonneau, and was made one of his many wives. Setting forth after the conformation of the purchased land, Lewis and Clark approached the hired interpreter, Charbonneau and his unknown Native American wife. They were to serve as guides for the party. Being only sixteen, her and her husband accompanied Lewis and Clark, graciously directing them on the expedition. She later gave birth to a boy, Jean-Baptiste, nicknamed “Pompey”, at their fort. Since Clark had become deeply attached to the infant he offered to take him, when weaned, to educate him as his own child. Less than two months later, the expedition was to continue and Sacagawea had her infant son strapped on her back sharing the hardships of the journey. Sacagawea posed as a guide, spectator, and translator because she was familiar with the geography, animals, and plants. When traveling through the land, she quieted the fears of other Native American tribes because she served a...
Lewis and Clark were very successful people however their greatest success was only achievable with the help of Native Americans. April 1803 President Thomas Jefferson purchased uncharted territory from france. Jefferson always had liked the idea of western expansion so when he got the chance he took it. Jefferson pushed for approval to head an exploration of the Louisiana Purchase, and in 1803 it was approved. Jefferson had named Meriwether Lewis the leader and William Clark as his associate it wouldn't be until their first winter during the exploration that sacajawea would come into the picture . However Jefferson did not announce publicly that the U.S. had purchased eight hundred and sixty eight thousand square miles of land for fifteen million dollars until July .Lewis and Clark’s journey began near St.Louis, Missouri May 1804. Most days of the exploration had harsh conditions or at least one challenging obstacle to get around.For example during the exploration the hundred and forty six days spent in North Dakota, they experienced harsh temperatures below zero. This vast amount of uncharted land would become thirteen of the the states we know today. This expedition would discover a hundred and twenty two new animals, and a hundred and seventy eight plants, the expedition took eight hundred and sixty three days over a length of seven thousand six hundred and eighty nine miles, and at the cost of thirty eight thousand seven hundred and seventy two dollars and twenty five cents. Lewis and Clark’s Expedition would not have been as successful as it was without the help of George Drouillard, Sacajawea, and the Native American tribes they encountered. These Native Americans helped provide shelter, food, knowledge, and artifacts ...

Sacagawea, or also referred to as Sacagawea with a “g” or Sacakawea with a “k”, is known for her history in the Lewis and Clark expedition.(Sacajawea) She was born in Lemhi Mountains, which is now called Idaho, in 1788. She was the daughter of the Chief of the Indian Tribe, Shoshone. When she was 12 years old in 1800, she was kidnapped by the Hidasta Indian Tribe and taken to North Dakota. The Hidasta Indians also took several others along with her, and raided her Tribe from their stuff, killing a few people. A year after her arrival she was bought or gambled by a French-Canadian fur trapper, Toussaint Charbonneau, he made her his wife along with all his other “wives”. When she was 16, in 1804, she had gotten pregnant. By that time Lewis and Clark were setting up camp for the winter in Fort Mandan and had hired her husband as a translator. They later learned that Sacagawea spoke Shoshone and Hidasta, so they then asked her to join them, and she gladly accepted. “The soil as you leave the heights of the mountains becomes gradually more fertile. the land through which we passed this evening is of an excellent quality tho very broken, it is a dark grey soil” (quotes Lewis as he travels through Idaho Country.)
Anyone who hears Sacagawea's story will agree that without her navigational, political, and interpreting skills, the famous Lewis and Clark expedition would not have happened (U.S. Mint, 1998-2005). This teenager risked her life along with her child's to travel across the wilderness and back with a group of men, only to receive nothing in return. Our country owes more to Sacagawea then just putting her face on the Golden Dollar.
Sacajawea is known as the Indian women who led Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition to explore the Louisiana Purchase and find the path that led to the Pacific Ocean. Born into the Shoshone tribe on their land of the Rocky Mountains, she was born in the lovely state of Idaho in 1788. Her story has been told all over the world in different countries and in many different ways. No one actually knows the real story of her life since all of her sources have been mixed up and combined into a different story. Sacajawea was shaped by three major events in different stages of her life ("Sacajawea").
In May of 1804, two men set out on an important journey that would take them across the country and discover new land, but none of it would have been possible without the aid of one woman. The Lewis and Clark Expedition was planned by Thomas Jefferson, in order to explore the unknown in the newly purchased Louisiana Territory, and also to find a water route across the continent. Along the way the group of men met a quiet native, named Sacagawea, whose impact would later have a large effect on the success of their important journey.
Pocantahs is problem the most famous American Indian woman ever. She was the daughter of Wahunsenacah. The most important Powhatan Indian was Chief Powhatan. His real name was Wahunsonacah. Chief Powhatan was his title as the leader of the Powhatan Confederacy. Chief Powhatan was actually more like a European king than a traditional Algonquian chief.
The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 started the Westward Expansion. There were many benefits from the purchase for the US that the French didn’t realize before they sold it. The purchase gave the US access to the Mississippi river which allowed for expansion of river trade to the North and South from the center of the US. The port city of New Orleans was bought by the US and its prosperity benefited the US greatly. The US sent Louis and Clark west to investigate the purchase. They were secretly told to lay claim on any and all land they come across. It was evident, after days of being lost and unable to communicate with natives, that they need an interpreter. Sacagawea, who spoke 5 tribal languages as well as French, was the answer to a safe and successful journey. Her presence signified that they were not a war party because they had a woman with them. During this time women didn’t travel in war parties. Her bearing a child further signified a peaceful trade party. Historians believe that without Sacagawea, Louis and Clark never would have been able to explore the West in the manor they did.
It was the year 1804 when the Corps of Discovery first set out to explore the western frontier of the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. President Thomas Jefferson had chosen Meriwether Lewis to lead the two expedition across the territory to find a north-west passage, a waterway that would allow them to transport goods north-west. Lewis had chosen Captain William Clark to join him and aid him in his expedition. Clark gladly accepted and the expedition, numbering 31, set off up the Missouri River. They documented many things on their journey, like plants and animals previously unknown to them. They were instructed to befriend the Native American tribes that they encountered and inform them that their land was now
Banda El Recodo has been a successful, revolving door of Mexican musicians since 1938. They also have ties to Los Zetas drug cartel. Across the border, we have Donald Trump. Trump is a wealthy business mogul who's now running for president of the U.S. Seeing as he wants to build a wall separating the U.S from Mexico and stopping the flow of drugs (and immigrants) into the U.S, we might have a new war on our hands.

It represents Sacagawea, as Deniz suggests, in the form of "the fully assimilated American woman" (Sacagawea's Nickname 14). She is instrumentalized as a proponent of the assimilation of Native Americans. Sacajawea in the first act of the play rushes in the arms of her husband the white French trader, Charboneau, asserting that she is not frightened of the white newcomers addressing her husband: "You come into the land of the sun and buy me from the Chief who steal me from my people, The Shoshones./ Me no more slave but a wife of fur trader"(Sacajawea 1. 4). The newcomers proved to be Meriwether Lewis and William Clark who came to lead an expedition (1804-1806). Their mission was to find a hypothesized water-route linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Anna Wolform's Sacajawea praises Charbonneau and all White men from the very beginning of the first scene. George Wemyss, in The Invisible Empire white Discourse, Tolerance and Belonging(2009), suggests that "dominant discourse constructs 'white' as a category which people from various 'non-white' backgrounds may . . . aspire to in order to become part of the white elite. When challenged, the discourse shifts to include different categories of people as 'white' in different contexts" (13). She is not afraid of the whites because her husband Charbonneau is the white man who bought her from the chief who
It was the year 2045, and a coalition of NASA, the ESA, JAXA (Japanese space agency), and ISRO (Indian Space Agency) combined their collective resources, brain power, and monetary funds to organize one of the most ambitious missions in human history: to send an interstellar probe to the Alpha Centauri system. The name the probe was given was Stella Nauta, meaning Star Sailor. The purpose of the Stella Nauta was to look for any undiscovered properties of the stars in the system, to discover any planets, moons, or asteroids orbiting in the triple star system and to determine whether any of the planets it may or may not discover harbor life and whether it could be a potentially habitable planet for humans in the future.
