Sacagawea /səˌkɑːɡəˈwiːə/ & Lewis and Clark

The knowledge of Sacagawea of the peoples and the circles was part of the success of the expedition. She saved the expedition at least twice from a failure: - when she avoided the loss of food, of supplies and documents in rapids - when the expedition met the Shoshone tribe. At first, they were hostile to their passage. The leader of the tribe was her brother named Cameahwait. She could have stayed with him and her people but decided to continue the exploration. Her exploit is all the more great as she gave birth to a son, Jean-Baptiste or “Pompy”, during the expedition, and she had to undergo the ill-treatment of her husband throughout the route in spite of a critical health caused by a disease which caused her death at the age of 25.
