SACAJAWEA (c. 1790-1812 - 84?)

In 1800, a 12 year old Shoshone girl by the name of Sacajawea was abducted by the Hidatsa Indians, later to be sold as a slave to Toussaint Charbonneau, a French Canadian trapper, who then married her. When the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery expedition hired Charbonneau as a steersman, Sacajawea joined the team as guide and interpreter. In 1805, while traveling with the expedition, Sacagawea gave birth to her son Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau.
