Sacagawea Thesis

Sacagawea, with her infant son, became the only woman in the small band of about 40 or so men. As they approached more and more west, many Natives had never seen white men before and were ready to protect their land. Lewis was sure the presence of a young woman and a baby would be an obvious sign their purpose was peaceful (Armstrong 65). Over the course of the journey, Sacagawea identifyed many edible berries and roots, which were used as medicine as well. Also, she mented clothes and nursed the sick and injured (Moulton 7).

Sakakawea or Sacajawea was a Lemhi Shoshone woman, who is well-famed for Leading Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition to find the Pacific Ocean through the Western United States, acting as an interpreter and guide. She traveled thousands of miles from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean between 1804 and 1806, while bearing child in her womb. The National American Woman Suffrage Association of the early twentieth century adopted her as the symbol of women’s worth and independence, erecting several statues, and plaques in her memory, and doing much to spread the story of her accomplishments.

Sacagawea was born in 1788 in Lemhi County, Idaho and was part of the Shoshone tribe for which her father was the chief. Her childhood was ruined when her tribe was attacked by the Hidatsa tribe when she was 11 years old. She was captured as a slave and taken to what is not North Dakota. She spent a miserable few years with the hostile tribe before being sold to a French-Canadian trapper and fur trader named Toussaint Charbonneau. They lived among the Hidatsa and Mandan Indians in North Dakota. She was still a young teenager when he forced her to marry him and she became his second wife. One day, the Corps of Discovery were traveling through the Hidasta-Mandan village when they experienced inclement weather.

Sacajawea and Charbonneau proved to be great assets to Lewis and Clark seeing as they could translate from Shoshone to Hidatsa and from Hidatsa to French. Sacajawea was the only woman on the journey to the Pacific Ocean. She also dove into the water when their boat capsized, and saved some papers and tools that they needed to complete the journey. Along with translating, Sacajawea also helped feed and pick berries for the men. While doing all of this, she carried her baby, Jean Baptiste, on her

Thomas Jefferson decided to send men out to explore the new land we owned. He choose his trusted friend, Meriwether Lewis to get a team together. Lewis chose William Clark to help lead the expedition. They organized a crew and gathered supplies to start of their expedition to St.Louis Missouri. While traveling on the Missouri River they found several Indian tribes. In one they met a girl named Sacagawea. She explained to Lewis and Clark, when she was young she was kidnapped and forced to be with a man. She ended up becoming pregnant with his child. They realized she new the woods and could help them travel. She became their guide, transport, and a way to find food. She was reunited with her old tribe along the way through the expedition. She got them horses from her brother Shone for the Americans to finish the rest of their expedition. Once they out passed the Columbia River and down the Rocky Mountains they were on their way home through the Pacific

French Canadian Toussaint Charbonneau, joined the group at Fort Mandan and guided them even further into the west. Sacagawea and her native tribe lived to the west of Fort Mandan and were planning on traveling in that direction anyways. Lewis and Clark felt that Sacagawea would be very beneficial to the crew in several ways. Not only would she be able to aid them in translation and communication, but they reasoned that when they arrived to the ending point of their journey, she could take them to her

The rivers were about four to eight times wider and much shallower than they are now. Getting past the sand in Lewis’s keelboat, and the other pirogues boats was difficult. In August, the men met Mandan Native American tribes. Lewis had his French interpreter, Charbonneau, and his six-teen year old wife, Sacagawea come with them on the expedition. They were to act as interpreters, and to show them a route to the

Along the way the men ran into different people what we know as Indians. As Lewis and Clark traveled from state to state we were greeted by different tribes some more welcoming than others. The pair came baring gifts, however, the gifts were not always wanted. The men gave tomahawks, sheet iron, flannel, combs ,and many more items. In a result to their kindness a Indiana women named Sacagawea guided them through the “New Land”. Without her the men could not have made it as far as they did. Not only did she guide them ,but she would communicate with the other Indians and explain why the strange men were on their land. Sacagawea saved the pair’s life and helped the U.S. learn about the “New

The Lewis and Clark expedition was the brave and risky expedition into the uncharted west, that nobody thought would make it to the Pacific Ocean and back to Washington D.C. alive. The journey to the West is a story that is for everybody, there’s science, Native Americans, and most of all, adventure (Nebraska Studies).

“Tora” is a code word in Japanese that meant complete surprise, “to” is a syllable if the Japanese word totsugeki which means charge or attack and “ra” initial syllable of raigeki meaning torpedo attack. The general information is code talkers, Torpedos went shallow, and WWII was Japanese attacking america. My thesis statement is, Japanese always attack by surprise , and if captured they would commit hara-kiri preferring to die, if killed themselves it’s an honorable death.
