Sacagawea was born into an Agaidika (Salmon Eater) tribe of Lemhi Shoshone between Kenney Creek and Agency Creek about twenty minutes away from Salmon, Idaho in Lemhi County. In 1800, when she was about twelve, she and several other girls were kidnapped by a group of Hidatsa (also known as Minnetarees) in a battle that resulted in the death among the Shoshone of four men, four women and several boys. She was taken as a captive to a Hidatsa village near present-day Washburn, North Dakota.
At about thirteen years of age, Sacagawea was taken as a wife by Toussaint Charbonneau, a Quebecois trapper living in the village. He had also taken another young Shoshone named Otter Woman as a wife. Charbonneau was reported to have purchased both wives from the Hidatsa, or won Sacagawea while gambling.
She ended up being volunteered to guide Lewis and Clark for their expidition. Lewis was shocked to discover she was pregnant, but was fascinated in watching her handle the elements with no problems.
She gave birth to a son, who was the highlight of her life. A few months later she was caught in a mudslide, breaking her leg. She knew the injury was death where they were located.
It was then Lewis told her what he was. She had been shocked, but had heard stories of the walking dead. She agreed to be Turned knowing she wanted to see her son grow.
