解放军文职招聘考试阅读理解B

Sacagawea was taken away from her Shoshone village by Hidatsa Indians when she was 12 years old. And she was immediately sold into slavery. She was then sold to a French hunter by the name of Toussaint Charbonneau. The pair became married and had a son named Jean-Baptiste.

Although there are different opinions concerning how important Sacagawea was to the Lewis and Clark expedition, she did serve as the interpreter（口译员）and negotiator to the Shoshone tribe（部落）that was led by her brother Cameahwait. She helped them get basic supplies and horses while she carried her baby on her back. Besides, Sacagawea helped recognize edible(可食的) plants and herbs and prevented unfriendly relations with other tribes simply by being with the expedition. She was even more important on the return trip because she was familiar with the areas in which they were traveling and was able to guide the expedition back safely. Lewis and Clark received credit for discovering hundreds of animals and plants that Sacagawea had probably seen for years. Although she received no payment for her help, her husband was rewarded with cash and land. 

Six years after the journey, Sacagawea died after giving birth to her daughter Lisette. William Clark raised both of her children, but there are no records of Lisette. To this day, there are no reliable pictures or drawings of Sacagawea. Recently, the United States government carved her image on the new one dollar coin. Sacagawea is buried in Lander, Wyoming.
