Sacagawea's Accomplishments

Illnesses, such as Typhoid and cholera, were common and would spread through the wagon trains creating more work for us women (Bledsoe, 1984). The overworked women would in turn become more vulnerable to becoming sick and perishing. Women who gave birth while on the Oregon Trail faced vast difficulty and in many cases the female pioneer or the new born would die. Women pioneers were usually fairly young because women during this time married as young as 14 but quickly toughened up because of the major responsibilities we faced on the trail. Despite the many hardships faced by myself and the other female pioneers, we helped to pave the

Once the men were ready, they all went walking towards the “whites village,” chanting our tribes incantation:''Tous des sauvages, des sauvages!" The whole tribe was chanting back and forth. While the tribe was marching their way over there, I tagged along but hiding behind them. In order for my father not to see me because although he is my father when it comes to choosing to be a commander and a father he will choose to be a commander instead. Then realized John was not with his people. He ended up finding me and explained to me what had happened, that his father was informed from one of his informers that John had fallen in love with a Native American and his dad then became furious. I explained what I told my dad and how I felt, after we united we decided to try to talk to our fathers while they were at

In his story “The Lakota Way; Joseph Marshall III adequately convinces the reader to persevere through a series of stories that allows the reader to develop a personal connection with characters. Marshall achieves this by informing the reader and using formal diction. This allows his readers to experience how perseverance can have a positive impact on one’s life. Marshall teaches us that Perseverance represents a quality in human beings that allows us to be steadfast despite the difficulty. In the folk tale “The Story of the Giant,” perseverance is abundant; Marshall utilizes the skill of teaching to persuade his audience to persevere through the story. Marshall‘s unique way of writing allows the reader to take lessons from a story and influence them to use it in their own lives. From lya the giant terrorizing people to Indians having to leave their land because of the government to Marshall’s grandfather’s stories of hardship, Marshall shows his audience how the Native Americans have always had it rough but more importantly how they persevered.

This became one of the boldest acts of defiance during this time. Yet, she didn't stop there. There is much more to her journey. This book illustrates her life like none other from the beginning to the end.

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).

Something I learned from Chapter 18 in The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is that Ona didn’t have the proper prenatal care during her pregnancy and during the premature labor. Prenatal care is a type of HealthCare that helps expectant mothers have a healthy pregnancy which will help deliver their baby with no health complications. It provides expectant mothers frequent check-ups with doctors, insight on the baby’s development, nutritional information, and information on what to expect during labor. With this care, many mothers will have a lower risk of health complications than those who don’t have the care. Although prenatal care benefits the mother and baby to build a healthy life, there are many pregnant women that go through a lot like Ona did with abuse, neglect, and hunger which prevents them from having the care they need.

In order to better to understand Sacagawea’s impact and legacy, learning about her beginning are crucial. Before Sacagawea met Lewis and Clark she went through some adversity. She was born in 1786 with the name Boinaiv as a member of the Shoshone tribe which is around present-day Idaho. During her teen years, around the year 1800, she traveled east with her family through the Rockies towards the Three Forks area of the Missouri River. However, while they were

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.

Around 1977, Sacagawea was included in the ‘National Cowgirl Hall of Fame’. Bill Clinton also awarded her the rank of ‘Honorary Sergeant, Regular Army,’ in 2001. Sacagawea is, brave, kind-hearted, and very determined. No matter what stood in her way she wouldn’t let anything stop her from doing what she wanted. One thing you may not know about Sacagawea is that many people seemed to believe that she had an affair with captain Clark.

As you are walking up the Jefferson Fork, you notice that Sacagawea is weak and ill. To the point where she can't move, and can't bare to walk. Your men say that she is holding up the expedition, and that they can go on without her. You , your men, Clark, sacagawea, her infant son, and your slave York, have to either decide to save her, or leave her and continue the expedition.

Sacagawea was really important in the expedition’s success. Lewis and Clark were good traders. Sacagawea was needed in the expedition. Not everyone think Sacagawea was important. I agree that Sacagawea was important to the expedition.
