Lewis and Clark went to the Mandan-Hidatsa Indian villages on 25 October 1804, where they spent the winter. (http://www.fortmandan.com/planningyourvisit/fortmandan.asp)
What Native American woman served as a guide on the Lewis and Clark expedition?
Sacagawea. In 1803 Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were given a mandate by President Thomas Jefferson to find a route west to the Pacific Ocean. In preparation for their expedition, Lewis and Clark moved into Fort Mandan. They soon hired Charbonneau as an interpreter for their expedition and as a bonus, Charbonneau's Shoshone/Hidatsa wife, Sacagawea, would accompany the expedition west. On February 11, 1805, shortly before the expedition was to set out, Sacagawea gave birth to her first child, a son. He was named Jean Baptiste Charbonneau and though not quite two months old at the onset of the expedition, the baby accompanied the group the entire way to the Pacific and back. While Sacagawea became known as the Corps of Discovery's guide in many history books, in actuality she was part interpreter, part peacekeeper, and part horse trader. Since Sacagawea knew both the Shoshone and Hidatsa languages, she translated the Shoshone into Hidatsa by speaking to her husband. He in turn translated the Hidatsa into French for the rest of the expedition.
What did the Shoshone do when they encountered the Hidatsa riding party?
They began a skirmish which lead to Sacagawea being captured.
Who captured sacagwea?
It is thought that Tsakakawia was captured by a Hidatsa (Minnetaree) war party when she was about 11 years old. They took her back to their village on the upper Missouri where she would have been treated as a slave. It was the Hidatsas who gave her the name Tsakakawia (Bird Woman), which Lewis and Clark wrote as Sacagawea.
