From 1804-1806, Sacagawea's presence proved to be an integral part of the success of the first American transcontinental expedition. As a Shoshone Indian, she was able to act as a guide and interpreter. At times she saved the explorers from certain death. Her story of incredible courage and strength continues to inspire people today.
