Sacajawea was living with the Shoshone tribe when she joined the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Lewis and Clark were joined by 31 other permanent members of the expedition.
She moved to Fort Mandan because Clark invited her to live there.
Lewis and Clark were joined by a group of about 30 people, known as the Corps of Discovery, which included soldiers, interpreters, and boatmen. Notable members of the expedition included Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman who served as a guide and interpreter, and William Clark's slave, York. The expedition was also assisted by various Native American tribes along the way, such as the Mandan and Nez Perce.
