“Everything I do is for my people” (Sacagawea Quotes). This fun-loving naturalist who loved helping others was much more of a hero than she appears to be. Sacagawea, or also called Sacagawea with a "g" or Sacakawea with a "k", is known for its history in Lewis. and Clark Expedition. (Sacajawea) She was born in the Lemhi Mountains, 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 with her and pillaged her tribe, killing a few people. A year after her arrival, she was purchased or staked by a French-Canadian fur trapper, Toussaint Charbonneau, who made her his wife along with all his other “wives”. When she was 16, in 1804, she became pregnant. By then, Lewis and Clark were setting up camp for the winter at Fort Mandan and had hired her husband as a translator. They later learned that Sacagawea spoke Shoshone and Hidasta, so they asked her to join them, and she happily agreed. “The soil, leaving the heights of the mountains, becomes progressively more fertile. the land we crossed this evening is of excellent quality although very rough, it is a dark gray soil" (quotes Lewis as he travels through the Idaho Country.) Sacagawea had her first child, a boy, named Jean Baptiste Charbonneau in February 1805, who accompanied him on his travels. Clark loved his new baby boy, so he nicknamed him “Pomp” or “Pompey,” meaning “first born.” (Sacagawea Lesson)In the spring of 1805, the Lewis and Clark expedition decided to take off. But on the way a sudden storm approaches and in the middle of a paper, son of Cameahwait, she recognized her brother: she instantly got up, ran and embraced him, throwing her blanket over him and crying profusely: The leader was he -even moved, but not to the same degree. After a few conversations between them, she resumed her seat and attempted to interpret for us, but her new situation seemed to overwhelm her and she was frequently interrupted by her tears (Lewis and Clark). com/biography/sacagawea/timeline.htmlhttp://www.sacagawea.comhttp://www.mathcs.bethel.edu/~gossett/DiscreteMathWithProof/sacagawea/quotes.htmlhttp://wikianswers.com/Q/Quotes_from_sacajaweahttp:/ /www.nrcs.usda.gov/FEATURE/lewisandclark/quotes.htmlhttp://www.elcivics.com/sacajawea.htmlhttp://www/lewis-and-clark-expedition.com/Sacagawea.aspxhttp://www .sparknotes.com/biography/sacajawea/section1.rhtml
