Sacajawea: Touissant Charbonneau
built 213 days ago
When Sacajawea became too old to be a Minnetaree slave she was sold to Charbonneau. Charbonneau was a trapper from Canada. He married Sacajawea and took her to the Mandan village. The Mandans lived much the same as the Minnetaree.

Sacajawea, a Shoshoni Native American, was born sometime in the late 18th century, probably around 1788 or 1789. When she was twelve years old, a Hidatsa raiding party captured her and took her away from her tribe. She was then sold or gambled into the possession of a French-Canadian fur-trader and trapper named Toussaint Charbonneau, who made her his wife. At the time, Charbonneau had another wife named Otter Woman... a Native American.

Sacajawea accompanied the expedition to the Pacific Ocean, which they reached on November 7, 1805. After they returned through Yellowstone and reached Minnetarre country, Charbonneau refused to go further with the explorers.

Sacajawea was born to the Agaidika tribe of the Shosone in what is now the state of Idaho. When she was a young girl, she was kidnapped by a group of Hidatsa Indians and brought to their village in present-day North Dakota. Some time later, she was taken as a wife by Toussaint Charbonneau, a French trapper living in the Hidatsa village.

Sacajawea was born to a Shoshone tribe in what was then Idaho territory, in the Lemhi Valley. She was kidnapped at a young age by the Hidatsas and taken east to the Great Plains. By either trade or gambling, Charbonneau "acquired" her.

Sacajawea was just 16 years old when she gave birth to her first child at the fort during the winter. Jean Baptiste Charbonneau was born in Febuary 1805. He was ... given the Shoshone name, Pomp, meaning First Born.
