Sacajawea, a Lemhi Shoshoni born near Salmon, Idaho around 1790, was the only Idaho native and the only woman in the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery expedition that opened the American West. Carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, nicknamed Pomp by William Clark, she traveled on the grueling journey from the Mandan village in present-day North Dakota over the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean and back, and her bravery, strength, and resourcefulness made her indispensable to the success of one of the greatest explorations in American history.
