sacajawea after the expedition

     Upon the end of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1806, Sacajawea, her husband Charbonneau, and their son Jean Baptiste went to St. Louis, Missouri.  Although being a small town at the time Charbonneau could not stand civilization. Charbonneau left his family to go on frequent tracking trips. Sacajawea felt that it was alright for him to do what felt right.
     Sacajawea and Charbonneau did make an effort to dwell in the country side. On October 30 1810 Clark was kind enough to sell the some land on the Missouri river. Sacajawea was prepared for the worst, but only after a year Charbonneau decided that the life of a farmer was not fit for them. They ended up selling back the property.  Sacajawea and Charbonneau ventured into the frontier region to hunt, trade, and sell.  It was reported that Sacajawea died 25 years old on December 20, 1819.  The Shoshone tribe say that Sacajawea lived on their land until she died in 1884.  Her death is still very controversial.
