You probably couldn’t fathom, or understand what it was like a fort Mandan, It was really rough and really really cold. Imagine a cold day to you like 45-15 % Fahrenheit right?

A Translating Team
In the November, of 1804 they met Toussaint Charbonneau, A French Canadian fur trapper with 2 wives. He had lived amongst the Mandan and Hidatsa for many years. One of his wives was pregnant, her name was Sacagawea. She was 16 years old, she was not originally Shoshone she was Hidatsa, she had been kidnapped when she was 12 and taken from the Hidatsa to the Shoshone, Where she now lived with her husband, Toussaint.
Lewis and Clark ended up hiring three people to help translate Sacagawea, Toussaint Charbonneau and Francis Labiche. Sacagawea spoke Hidatsa and Shoshone, Charbonneau spoke Shoshone and French, Francois Labiche spoke French and English, Finally passing of the message to Lewis and Clark.
