Sacagawea
Sacagawea was a Lemhi-Shoshone woman who interpreted for and guided Lewis and Clark. At 13 Sacagawea was taken as a wife by trapper, Toussaint Charbonneau. When Lewis and Clark asked the trappers if any of them would be willing to guild them, Charbonneau told them about his Native American wife. Sacagawea was pregnant at the time, but managed to aid the men greatly and help them out of intense situations. Her son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau was born during the expedition. After the expedition Sacagawea and her husband went to live in St. Louis Missouri, where they had a daughter named Lizette. Sacagawea died in 1812 due to an unknown illness.
The Iroquois Constitution
The Iroquois Constitution was the oral constitution that the Great Law of Peace was spread by. It was made by Dekanawidah and written on wampum belts. It bound six native American nations (Oneida, Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Seneca, and Tuscarora) and set rules by which the government is conducted. The 177 article constitution was ratified by the original five nations around 1451 near modern day Victor, New York. In 1933 Congress passed Concurrent Resolution 331, revealing that the American Constitution was influenced by the Iroquois Constitution.

Today Native Americans are citizens of their tribal nations and, since 1924, citizens of America. Before 1924, the Bureau of Indian Affairs discouraged traveling off of reservations, revoking traveling rights and hunting and fishing rights that the Native Americans deserved. Due to Native American Civil RIghts movements, Native Americans have obtained these rights, along with the right to vote. This unusual relationship between America and the Native Americans is still tense
