Sacagawea was around 12 years old when her tribe, the Shoshone, was attacked by the Hidatsa in 1800. This event led to her capture and eventual sale to a French-Canadian trader, Toussaint Charbonneau, who later became her husband. Her experiences during this tumultuous time shaped her future role as a guide and interpreter for the Lewis and Clark expedition.
