Sacagawea: Westward with Lewis and Clark

A young Shoshone woman. A small baby. A gigantic dog. A journey like no other.

In 1804, President Thomas Jefferson appointed Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to lead an expedition across the western United States to the Pacific Ocean. To communicate with the Native peoples they would encounter, they engaged a young Shoshone woman called Sacagawea to accompany them. Sacagawea's knowledge of the West allowed them to trade for food and supplies and request help when desperately needed.
