Sacajawea Narrative Story
By late July, the expedition had reached my homeland. I showed the captains where my village had stood when the Hidatsas came before, and then I pointed out the place where I had been captured before also. I said, “Soon they would come out to the Shoshoni summer camp.” The captains hoped to buy horses to cross the mountains in the winter. Lewis went ahead and thanks to Sacajawea’s accurate memory, found the Shoshoni. He persuaded the chief to go back with him to meet the others. The Shoshoni agreed, but they were afraid Lewis was trying to trick them. Dozens of warriors went, too.
