Sacajawea: No, I do not know this area.

a noise is heard from the forest

Narrator: A large Native American man stepped out from the darkness. Sacajawea lept up.

Sacajawea: Brother!

Scene 2-

Narrator: Sacajawea's brother led the traveling group into the village. Sacajawea told her companions the story about how her and her brother were separated.

Sacajawea: About five years ago, I was captured by the Hidatsa in a raid war. I was their slave for quite a while. I wasn't treated terribly, but I was there against my will doing mostly what the other women did. Eventually they sold me to a man named Toussaint Charbonneau. I was to be his second wife. And then thankfully you came, soon before I had my son (Jean Baptiste).

Lewis: That would explain how you came to be an expert with many languages.

This sounds like a good genre, you helped me understand how to come about this genre it is on topic but I think it should be a little more long and detailed.
