Probably the best part of meeting the Shoshones was bringing in Sacagawea into a meeting with Chief Cameahwait. She was very humble at the meeting, but was there to help translate. As she finally raised her head to translate, she saw Chief Cameahwait ------it was ------her brother!!! Well, any suspicion the Shoshones had about the Corps was gone in that instant, and the siblings were reunited in a tearful, but joyful, moment! That wasn’t the only Shoshone she reunited with. She also ran into her old good friend Jumping Fish. That was a joyful day for all of us…even Capt. Clark and Capt. Lewis were extremely grateful to get the horses they needed.

This is a picture of Sacagawea reuniting with Jumping Fish.
Click on my first link (Lewis and Clark Part 2). If you skip to 2 minutes and 3 seconds (2:03/7:45) through the movie, you'll see Sacagawea reuniting with her brother.
