When Sacagawea saw her people, she sucked her fingers, pointed at her tribe, did a joyful dance, and jumped up and down.  To speak with the Shoshone, Lewis and Clark spoke English to one of his men.  That man translated that into French to an Indian who spoke that in Hidatsa to Sacagawea.  She then spoke to her Shoshone people.

In 1999, the USA honored Sacagawea by making a dollar coin with her picture on it.  On the coin, she is with her baby, Pomp.  Sacagawea and Pomp traveled together on the Lewis and Clark Journey, and on July 20, 1999, they made one more exciting trip together.  This time they went into space!  The Space Shuttle took twelve of the Sacagawea dollars with them when they blasted off.

A woman called Sacagawea joined the Lewis and Clark Mission with her husband.  This was a good sign for the Indians because no women travel with war parties.

Sacagawea shows her courage by saving many supplies when the boat tipped over.
