They don't call it Lake Sakakawea for nothing. This is where Sakakawea (or Sacagawea) lived amongst the Hidatsa after they kidnapped her from the Shoshone and eventually sold her to the French-Canadian fur trader Toussaint Charbonneau who used her to get paid $5000 by Lewis & Clark for her skills. She was 15 when the Corps of Discovery met her acquaintance.
This area is now part of the Mandan-Hidatsa-Arikara Nation-- aka Fort Berthold Reservation.
