How Sacagawea Shape History
How did Sacagawea shape history? Sacagawea has helped shape history with her knowledge of interpretation, and being the brave leader of the well known, Lewis and Clark expedition.
In 1788, the Shoshone chief's daughter, Sacagawea, was born. When Sacagawea was 12, in the year 1800, she had been captured by the Hidatsa Indians, a well known enemy. After she was captured, she was then sold to a French-Canadian trapper with the name Toussaint Charbonneau, who had been planning to make Sacagawea one of his many wives. Later, that same year, Sacagawea and Charbonneau have became officially married (A&E Television Networks.)
In 1804, Sacagawea was later invited to join Lewis and Clark on their expedition. Lewis and Clark had believed that her shoshone
language experience would help them along the journey. During the trip West, Sacagawea had came across a group of Shoshone Indians, she then realized that the leader of the group, happened to be her brother, Cameahwait. Although she had found her brother, and her tribe, she still remained to go West with the explorers (A&E Television Network.)
Sacagawea had later created a wonderful family of her own. A year after she had left the expedition, Sacagawea had given birth to her son who was then named Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. In the year 1812, (8 years later) Sacagawea had given birth once more, to a beautiful baby girl named Lisette Charbonneau. (Lizette) Unfortunately, after birthing two children, Sacagawea became extremely ill with “Putrid Fever” This horrible fever had taken Sacagawea’s life, leaving Clark the legal guardian of Lisette and Baptiste (A&E Television Networks.)
Sacagawea had a short life, yet an amazing impact on history to this day. Without her ways of knowledge and interpretation, the expedition wouldn’t be described as it is now (A&E Television Networks.) Sacagawea was an amazing, brave-hearted leader, who sacrificed herself, not only for her children, but for the explorers who needed her. As Sacagawea once stated, “Everything i do is for my people.”
