Description
We're celebrating Nation Native American Heritage Month in November. Join me to learn about the amazing Dr. Susan La Flesch Picotte. She was the youngest daughter of the Omaha Chief who believed in education and the importance of learning to embrace both traditional culture and the white world. After completing medical school, Dr. Susan (as her people called her) returned home to serve her community.
Her life was short but her impact and example were huge.
