What Native American woman served as a guide on the Lewis and Clark expedition?
While Sacagawea became known as the Corps of Discovery’s guide in many history books, in actuality she was part interpreter, part peacekeeper, and part horse trader. Since Sacagawea knew both the Shoshone and Hidatsa languages, she translated the Shoshone into Hidatsa by speaking to her husband. He in turn translated the Hidatsa into French for the rest of the expedition.
