Sacajawea

Sacajawea, the interpreter for the Lewis and Clark Expedition, was born in Idaho. Indians of enemy tribes captured her as a child and sold her as a slave to Toussaint Charbonneau, a French-Canadian trader. She and Charbonneau joined the expedition as it traveled up the Missouri River. Her ability to communicate with the Indian tribes through whose territory the expedition passed was crucial to its success.
