Sacagewea was a Shoshone woman. She was born into an Agaidika (Salmon Eater) tribe of Lemhi Shoshone, but was captured at the age of twelve by a Hidatsatribe. Then, around age thirteen, she was taken as a wife by Toussaint Charbonneau, along with another woman named Otter Woman. (Charbonneau was thought to have won them by gambling). She was part of the Lewis and Clark expedition (during which she gave birth to her son, Jean Baptiste), and then moved to St. Louis with her husband, where she gave birth to her second child (her daughter, Lizette). She lived there until 1812, where some records say she died. Others say that she left St. Louis and married into a Comanche tribe before traveling back to her birthplace where other records say she died in 1884.
