Sacagawea

by Jhoana F.

Sacagawea, a brave and daring woman

She got kidnapped as a little girl

by the Hidatsa Indian Warriors

She had to learn the Hidatsa ways

of cooking, living and more

The she was traded

to Charbonneau, a French man

Who was later part of the expedition

The Lewis and Clark Expedition

Sacagawea helped the white men in many ways

she helped find different foods

From places where mice had hid them

Sewed clothes from animal skin and fur

and helped lead the way

She risked her life and her baby

and crossed giant mountains

Then she got weak of sickness

That almost got her life

She was very joyful

On finally seeing her old tribe

Her brother was the Shoshone leader

Who gave the white men needed horses

No one knew where Sacagawea went

After she met the Shoshone again

But all I know is that she will not be forgotten

on the Lewis and Clark Expedition
