Sacajawea only had two children: Jean-Baptiste and Lisette.
She died long before your Louis was born.
http://sacajawea.idahostatesman.com/index.htm
Sacajawea?s baby was born with a full head of dark hair on Feb. 11, 1805, eight weeks before the Corps of Discovery left its winter camp at Fort Mandan. Charbonneau named him Jean Baptiste. Sacajawea called him Baambi, a Shoshoni word for hair. Clark called him "Pomp."
Sacajawea and Charbonneau stayed in St. Louis with Jean Baptiste for two years, then left him under Clark?s care and returned to the Mandan villages. Jean Baptiste was 6. Sacajawea, then in her early 20s, was pregnant.
Her second child was born in 1812. A daughter named Lizette, she is thought to have died in infancy.
But Sacajawea died before her daughter.
"This evening the Wife of Charbonau a Snake Squaw, died Of a putrid fever she was a good and the best Woman in the fort, aged about 25 years she left a fine infant girl."
The words are those of John Luttig, a clerk with the Missouri Fur Company. He recorded the death in his journal on Dec. 12, 1812, at Fort Manuel, S.D.
