May 11-15, 1805

After the encounter with the Shoshone 

man on a horse, the Captain was sure 

that the man had ran back to warn his 

tribe of the newcomers. He decided he 

needed to explain to someone, and fast. 

He saw an old Shoshone woman and a 

child, and the child ran off in fear. The 

Captain had encouraged the old woman 

to stand, but she was frail, and her legs 

were wobbly. Apparently it took ages, 

but the Captain managed to do enough 

fancy hand-talk to explain that he meant 

no harm. The Captain gave her some blue 

beads, and she called the child back and 

explained to her that it was all quite safe. 

The captain painted their faces red as a 

sign of peace, and the woman explained 

again to the chief the good deeds he had 

done.

Meeting the Shoshones

August 9, 1805

As soon as the Captain saw the 

man who was observed as a 

Shoshone, he ran up to him 

holding the trinkets in the air. 

He was shouting "Ta-ba-bone! 

Ta-ba-bone!" which according 

to Sacagawea was the Shoshone 

word for 'White man'. He 

stopped at a hundred paces, 

then proceeded. "Ta-ba-bone! 

Ta-ba-bone!" He pulled up his 

sleeve and showed the man on 

the horse his forearm which was 

untanned. Suddenly, the man 

turned and rode off.
