As a child in frontier Nebraska, Susan La Flesche witnessed the death of a member of her tribe--because the agency doctor never showed up. The experience drove her to accomplish the seemingly impossible--to become the first Native American doctor and to build her own hospital on the Omaha reservation. Omaha means against the current -- so she was just being true to her Omaha culture. Two members of her tribe, Wehnona Stabler and Lisa Drum, tell Doctor Susan's story from the Omaha point of view. @UNLincoln Professor of History, Margaret Jacobs, offers insights into the Presbyterian Mission School on the reservation. • © 2016 Nebraska Public Media Foundation.
