Detailed explanation-1: -Sacagawea proved to be an invaluable resource on the expedition. She served as translator because she knew the native languages, which helped her negotiate trades with local tribes and explain that her group had come in peace.
Detailed explanation-2: -France saw Indigenous nations as allies, and relied on them for survival and fur trade wealth. Indigenous people traded for European goods, established military alliances and hostilities, intermarried, sometimes converted to Christianity, and participated politically in the governance of New France.
Detailed explanation-3: -Historians generally believe that Sacagawea joined the Expedition because her husband had been hired as a translator. Still, Sacagawea contributed significantly to the success of the journey. Simply because she was a woman, Sacagawea helped the Corps.
Detailed explanation-4: -They did not displace any Natives in the establishment of their settlement and continued to work closely with them in the fur trade. They respected Native territories, their ways, and treated them as the human beings they were. The Natives, in turn, treated the French as trusted friends.
Detailed explanation-5: -In many Native American cultures, although male family members arranged marriages, wives controlled whether or not they wanted a divorce. In the Haudenosaunee tribes and Cherokee Nation, a woman could leave her husband’s belongings outside their door to show that she wanted a divorce.
