She had a tough life growing up. The Shoshone became enemies with the Hidatsa tribe who lived along the Missouri River. In 1800 the Hidatsa tribe later captured Sacajawea, leaving her family and friends, during a buffalo hunt. They officially adopted her into their culture and she became known as a Hidatsa. She was a Shoshone by birth and a Hidatsa through culture. Three years later, through a trade, French-Canadian Toussaint Charbonneau bought her making Sacajawea become his ownership. At age 16, Sacajawea became one of two wives' of Charbonneau and later was the mother of her son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. She had a very difficult life growing up leading her to going on a famous expedition. ("Sacajawea").

Throughout the Res Gestae Augustus portrays himself as a humble leader that was given the opportunity to rule Rome by the people and not like many other rulers before him that fought against other powerful people to take the position of the head of Rome, when in fact Augustus did exactly what others had done before. He had taken the position by force but it is what he did differently once he had it, that he was able to last. He made it seem that he did not take it nor did he want it, but he was given the position by the people of Rome for which he accepted.
