Sacajawea is one of the most known American-Indian women. Her voyage with explorers Lewis and Clark was legendary. She was born in Tendoy, Idaho around 1788. She was a member of the Lemhi Shoshone tribe. America was only 12 years old at this time and the territory ended at the Mississippi river. One year after the United States doubled its territory with the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition leaves St. Louis, Missouri, on a mission to explore the Northwest from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean (History). Even before the purchase was finished, President Thomas Jefferson sent his private secretary Meriwether Lewis and army captain William Clark on an expedition into what is now the U.S. Northwest.

In addition, throughout their exploration, the Corps passed through many foreign Indian territories. To ensure their safety, they participated in council meetings held by the Indian chiefs of the tribes. Sacagawea was valued as an interpreter when the Indian chiefs spoke Shoshone. One specific example of this was on April 28, 1806 on the return trip. The Corps encountered the Walla Walla Indians near the confluence of the Columbia and Walla Walla Rivers whom they had a hard time communicating with. Sacagawea found a Shoshone captive in their tribe, and used her to translate and communicate with the Native Americans. Their ability to communicate among this encounter and others enabled the Corps to perform their diplomatic mission. Most importantly,

In the winter of 1805 , two men named Lewis and Clark found the survival tool ever, Sacagawea. Sacagawea would teach them how to travel the mountains and the forests, the rivers and the plains. They learned which plants were safe to eat, and which were poisonous. They knew how to hunt for rabbits, foxes, elks and deer, and even how to trap longhorn sheep. But if Lewis and Clark didn't find Sacagawea, they probably wouldn't have survived. In passage one it states,"Lewis and Clark headed deeper and deeper into uncharted land. As the trip continued, one of their men became ill and died. They also had to do their best to find food and stay healthy during the winter months." This evidence shows that before Lewis and Clark met Sacagawea , they were barely surviving.

Jarena Lee was born a free African American woman on February 11, 1783 in Cape May, New Jersey. From birth to seven years old, little was known about her childhood, but what was known about her childhood was that when Jarena was seven years old, she went off to work as a servant maid because her family was very poor like most African American families living during this time period. She was separated from her parents at a very young age, and the house or business she worked at was almost sixty miles from her hometown of Cape May, which was a tragic ordeal for a seven year old to experience.

Sacagawea saved the pair’s life and helped the U.S. learn about the “New
