Susan La Flesche Picotte was the first Native American woman to receive a medical degree in the 1880s, and the first person to receive financial aid for a professional education. From a young age, she recognized the lack of health care in her Omaha tribe. “It has always been a desire of mine to study medicine ever since I was a small girl,” she wrote, “for even then I saw the need of my people for a good physician.” At the time, not only was it difficult for a woman to be a physician, but it was unprecedented for a Native American woman to become one. She continued to shatter stereotypes her entire life, dedicating her life to serving her tribe, her children, and all people. “I am a dreamer who dreams, sees visions, and listens always to the still, small voice. I am a trail-blazer.” - Susan La Flesche Picotte
