If the person in question is the one pointing at Bodmer (center right)wearing a red sash, dressed in skins, with a small NP belt bag acting as interpreter is the one you want ID'd - per the current research that figure is most likely Toussaint Charbonneau: Sacagawea's husband and the L & C Expedition interpreter.

Looks like the whites have percussion guns and the Indians have flint.
Sacagawea's son would have been early 30s maybe.

Son was Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. As I recall Clark raised Jean and sent him to a fairly high class school. He probably would have dressed white.

I noticed the gentleman in green is sporting a double rifle (or shotgun, I suppose).
