Description:
|
What does it take to heal a people?
A new one-hour PBS documentary
interweaves the lives of Native
healers of today with that of the
first Native American doctor. Born on
the Nebraska frontier in 1865, Susan
La Flesche Picotte studied medicine at
a time when few women dared. She
graduated first in her Philadelphia
class and returned home to a shattered
world. She spent the rest of her life
working to help her people become
whole again.
In Medicine Woman you’ll meet three
remarkable women, from the Omaha,
Lakota and Navajo tribes. Without
fanfare, in their own communities,
they perform small miracles that the
world rarely sees.
PBS (60 min.)
Bring your lunch; the Library provides
coffee and cookies.
