Charbonneau was the pos.

How do you know Lewis & Clark were racists?
They wanted Charbonneau to guide them but he would have made a lousy interpreter. So he gave them his youngest of several wives.

As fate saw this young woman, she is honored, loved & respected throughout the history books.
Her contribution took her farther beyond Charbonneau's camp.
