	PBS - THE WEST - Sacagawea
		Sacagawea carried her infant on a cradleboard as the "Corps of Discovery" headed upriver in April, 1805.
		When Sacagawea arrived to serve as interpreter, she found the band was led by her older brother, Cameahwait, who had become chief on their father's death.
		Deeply moved by this reunion, Sacagawea might have taken advantage of such an astounding coincidence to return to her people, but instead she helped the explorers secure the horses they needed and journeyed on with them and her husband to the Pacific.

		Not only could Sacagawea provide invaluable help in communicating and dealing with the Shoshoni (she spoke Shoshoni, Minitari, and French), but her presence would make a clear statement to the Indians that the Corps might encounter: The Corps must not be a threat because war parties do not travel with a woman and child.
		Sacagawea alone had the presence of mind to retrieve the items--including the now-famous journals of the trip--from the water.
