Asked by Wiki User

Shoshone men did not originally wear the famous Indian war bonnet like the Plains tribes, but in the 1800's some Shoshone leaders did adopt this custom from their neighbors. Shoshone women often wore basket hats. Traditionally, Shoshone people only cut their hair when they were in mourning.

How old was Sacajawea when she died?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to John Luttig of Fort Manuel Lisa on the Missouri River, Sacagawea died on December 20, 1812, at the age of 24 or 25. (This was shortly after giving birth to her second child, and her death was ascribed to "putrid fever".)

However, an alternate story among the Amerindian oral traditions was that she left her French trapper husband and remarried into a Comanche tribe, living until April 9, 1884 (age 96).

What religion is Robert Frost?

Hindu

The above answer is ridiculous. Frost's spirituality was very complex, he was outwardly ambivalent to religion, although he had a strong religious education from his mother, and his roots are New England Yankee.

Hindu is ridiculous. Many people thought he was atheist but his mother and him argued about it often. He was once quoted as saying that his religion was being a"freethinker."

Asked by Wiki User

When Lewis and Clark wintered at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, there they met Sacagawea and her husband in 1804. Toussaint Charbonneau was interviewed to interpret Hidatsa for the Lewis and Clark expedition, but Lewis and Clark (esp. Clark) were not overly impressed with him. However, Sacagawea his wife spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, so they hired Charbonneau on November 4, and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later.

In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide at Lemhi Pass, and headed west along the Salmon, Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon on November 5 1805.

The explorers began their journey home on March 23, 1806. On July 3, after crossing the Continental Divide, the Corps split into two teams so Lewis could explore the Marias River. Sacagawea and her husband stayed with Clark's team until they reached the Hidatsa villages.

Why did lewis and clark travel west?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lewis and Clark traveled west at the beginning of the 19th century in order to achieve one fundamental aim: to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory of the United States. Driving the exploration was the urgent hope to find a viable pathway (or, passage) for trading purposes that would connect the eastern portion of the U.S. with the Pacific Ocean.
