Sacajewea+by+Elise

Sacagawea was born in Idaho, shining mountains 1788. She was kidnapped and sold to a man named when she was 11. One winter day a group of white men came to stay for the winter. In the spring they asked Sacagewea if she would like to come with them to the great waters so they could talk to the other Indians through her. She said yes because she would be able to see her family again.

It was a long walk to meet with her tribe, the shoshones. When thy reached the shosohnes Sacagewea met with her brother and learned her mother and sister were dead. She then asked for horses to get around the mountains with. Her brother gave her the horses and she knew it was time to go. Sacagawea was unhappy to leave her family and tribe again, but knew she would be needed.

They set out on the river to reach the great waters. Sacagewea was on the boat alone with her husband waiting for Lewis and Clark,the leaders of the expedition, to get on, when a big wave crashed into the boat! Tons of supplies floated off but Sacagewea grabbed them just in time. Sacagewea was a hero!
