HEALER; Susan La Flesche Picotte

This book is a tribute to Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte, the first Native American doctor in the United States. She became a physician in 1889, at a time before either Native Americans or women had been given the right to vote. After graduating from medical school in the East, she returned to Nebraska to serve her Omaha people at the Macy reservation. At a time when her tribal people were in desperate need of medical help and leadership, she was a healer and an advocate for their welfare. Famous
