Looks like it is controversial...

Where is Sacajawea Buried? The Controversy
Two locations claim to be Sacajawea’s gravesite.

One report suggests that Sacajawea died in 1812, from putrid fever, a few years after giving birth to her daughter Lizette. She would have been 24-25 years old. In this time period, Native American women were often identified simply as “wives” and not mentioned by name. The record shows that the wife of Charbonneau, a Snake Squaw, died leaving an infant girl. There is no mention of Sacajawea’s name. There also was no mention of the daughter Lizette after this record.

In contradiction, a Shoshone oral tradition relates that Sacajawea left her husband, Charbonneau, married a Comanche, and later in life returned to her home in Wyoming where she died in 1884 at the age of 100.

Research has been done, and books have been written supporting both versions of history. The Shoshone we spoke with on our trip to the cemetery were confident that Sacajawea was here, back home in Wyoming. The old woman who returned to Wind River would not have lied about her identity. It was not in her culture to do so.

Here is a link to the article.... Sacajawea's Secret Gravesite

I did not realize how young she was when she died.

Don’t think anyone really knows for sure. This is her supposed marker in Wyoming.

Win Blevins has a book on him, it’s fiction but at least based in fact. Charbonneau: Man of Two Dreams. He is also featured in the Larry McMurtry series The Berrybender Narratives. It’s an excellent read but I’m not sure how much truth you get out of it.
