instruments, and medicines.
Sacajawea introduced Lewis and
Clark to their tribe, the Shoshone, in the summer of 1805. Lewis had left she, Clark, and most of the

leader named Cameahwait. When Clark and
Sacajawea rejoined Lewis, she recognized Cameahwait; he was her brother! Now Lewis and him could be friends.
