Answer 1

1 - In one noted act on May 14, 1805 as the expedition moved up the Missouri River, Sacagawea rescued items that had fallen out of a capsized boat, including the journals and records that Lewis and Clark were keeping. The corps commanders, who praised her quick action on this occasion, would name the Sacagawea River in her honor.

2 - By August of 1805 the corps had located a Shoshone tribe and were attempting to trade for horses to cross the Rocky Mountains. Sacagawea was brought in to translate, and it was discovered the tribe's chief was her brother Cameahwait.

3 - Yes they did.

2. The explorers reached the Columbia River in 1805 after crossing the Rockies. On May 26, they met a band of Shoshoni Indians to which Sacagwea had belonged at birth. Her brother was now the chief of the band. Sacagawea helped the explorers trade gifts to the Indians for horses and supplied.

3. Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Coast in November 1805.
