After over a year of planning and initial travel, Lewis and Clark reached the Hidatsa-Mandan settlement where Sacagawea was. Why did Lewis and Clark want Sacagawea to join their expedition?

Lewis and Clark wanted Sacagawea to join their expedition because they needed someone who actually understood the area to show them locations and the safest modes of passage.
