Are Sacagawea’s contributions to the Lewis and Clark expedition overrated?

Reread Undaunted Courage for the first time in probably 15 years, and one of my biggest takeaways was that it felt that for contributions were much smaller than I remember relative to how much more you hear her name compared to other members of the group, particularly have been growing up in North Dakota for numerous things are named for her. From the Native American perspective, the Nez Pearce and Chinnook we're far more essential to the success of the expedition with their contributions, from reading the book there's basically one time that she directs them towards a Shoshone community and is used a couple of times as help with interpreting, but even when meeting her own former tribe, they don't use her as an interpreter. Am I missing something? I'm more than happy to do for the reading on the subject.
