Sacagawea
Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman, played a crucial role as an interpreter and guide during the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 19th century. Her presence was instrumental in facilitating communication with Native American tribes and navigating unfamiliar territories. Sacagawea's knowledge of the land and her cultural insights greatly contributed to the success of the expedition, which aimed to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase. Remarkably, Sacagawea did it all while caring for the son she bore just two months before departing. Her resilience and adaptability in the face of challenging circumstances left an indelible mark on American history, symbolizing the often-overlooked contributions of Indigenous people to the exploration and expansion of the United States.
To solve this puzzle you need to figure out the following question:
How long did the whole expedition, that Sacagawea held lead, last?
