A Wife & Mother
Sacagawea was sold to charbonneau as his wife . she became a mother at age 16 she caried her son, jean baptiste chabonnea also known as pompey on her whole journey across america.
Sacagawea is a hero to the Corps of Discovery and everyone depending on them in many ways. One of the most important things she did was that she translated so they could get horses so they could travel over the mountains. Another reason she is a hero is that Sacagawea eased meetings with Shoshone becase she's a woman. She also saved all of Lewis and Clark's furs, maps and journals when their boat was capsized. Without her we would have no record of what hapend on the expedition.
