Sacagawea
1788 CE–1812 CE · Lemhi Shoshone country
Sacagawea was a Lemhi Shoshone (Agaidika) woman who, while still a teenager, accompanied the Lewis and Clark Expedition across the western part of the continent between 1804 and 1806. Traveling with her infant son, she served as an interpreter and helped the expedition obtain horses and safe passage from Shoshone bands, including a reunion with her own brother. Her presence with the party also helped signal peaceful intent to the peoples they met. She is generally held to have died in 1812.
