Sacagawea

Who was this clever Shoshone teenage girl who went on the Lewis & Clark trail? This girl was named Sacagawea and her tribe was named Shoshone. A lot of this part happens when she was young. One day, the Minataree Indians attack. She got carried into a place she did not know. Then one day a man named Charbone came to town and asked her to marry him. He had come to town once so she recognized him. She had to say yes. Then one day Lewis& Clark asked them to go on the expedition, they had a little hard time getting Lewis & Clark to say that Sacagawea would be a lot of help. Sacagawea would translate and help them find the way. Then she had Pomp, that's his nickname. His real name is Jean Baptise. He was Clark's favorite baby. Sacagawea died on 1812. After she was dead, a lot more people recognized her. There were lakes and mountains named after her. These are some of the reasons she is famous.

I admire her a lot. I wonder what she looked like? Well I think she didn't get as much as she deserved. But I know that she had a very hard life. Clark took Pomp. She was one of the bravest girls I think at least!!!
