What is sacaboujeea?

Sacagawea (also spelled Sacajawea) was a Native American woman who played a key role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 19th century. She was born in 1788 in what is now Idaho and was a member of the Lemhi Shoshone tribe.

In 1804, when she was just 16 years old, Sacagawea was recruited by the explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to serve as an interpreter and guide on their expedition to explore the western territories of the United States. She was chosen for her knowledge of the land and her ability to speak several Native American languages.

During the expedition, Sacagawea proved to be a valuable asset to the explorers. She helped the team navigate difficult terrain, served as an interpreter with other Native American tribes, and also acted as a peacemaker in several delicate situations.

Today, Sacagawea is remembered as a symbol of courage and perseverance, and as a key figure in the early history of the United States. Her image appears on the US dollar coin, and there are many statues and monuments dedicated to her memory.
