Who we met...

      While exploring we met a French fur trader named Toussaint Charbonneau, his Shoshone wife Sacagawea, and their baby, Jean-Baptiste.This Frenchman and his family previously mentions were of very famous standards and are known for many deeds. However, we also met several tribes and chiefs along the way, including natives from the Arikara, Assiniboine, Athabaska, Blackfoot, Columbian Plateau, Cree, Crow, Eliatan, Eneshur, Flathead, Grand Osage, Kickapoo, Mandan, Minitari, Omaha, Oto, Pawnee, Shoshone, Sioux, Skillute, Teton Sioux, Yakima, and Yankton Sioux tribes as well as several British and French hunters and fur traders. Some of these people would be hostile to us, but many of these tribes and people were friendly to us in our expeditions and explorations westward.
