Susan LaFlesche overcame incredible odds to become the first Native American woman doctor in the United States.Born to Iron Eye half native and half French, chief of the Omahas, and The One Woman in 1865, Susan LaFlesche began her life at a time when her peoples culture was near its end.As a child on the prairie she helped with all of the family chores. She followed her father often and learned from him many things from herding to the wisdom he imparted to other tribesmen. But her father wanted her, and all the tribes children, to be educated and to know her way around the white mans world which was quickly engulfing every native tribe in North America.
