Pomp was the nickname given to Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, the son of Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau. He was born during the Lewis and Clark expedition and became a well-known figure during the journey.
Lewis and Clark raised Pomp, a Native American child, as a gesture of goodwill towards Native American tribes encountered during their exploration of the Western United States. Pomp's mother was a Shoshone woman and his father was a member of the Corps of Discovery. By raising Pomp, they hoped to establish positive relationships with the Native American communities they encountered.
