All Warriors Memorial
The Veterans Corner
Native American Women Veterans encouraged
to register at the Memorial to record history
Very little is known about the
contributions of Native American
women to the United States military,
The Women In Military Service For
America Memorial Foundation is at
tempting to fill this gup by encourag
ing Native American women veterans
to register with the Memorial so that
their stories may be recorded and pre
served. We are also conducting research
on the contributions of Native Ameri
can women of earlier eras.
Historians have only recently rediscov
ered and verified the actions of an
Oneida woman, Tyonajancgcn, ut the
battle of Oriskany during the American
Revolution ( 1775-1 783). Tyonajanegen
was married to an American Army of
ficer of Dutch descent. She fought at
her husband's side on horseback dur
ing the battle, loading her husband's
gun for him after he was shot in the
wrist.
The story of Sacajawea, the Shoshone
woman who accompanied the Lewis
and Clark expedition of the early 19th
century, is somewhat better known.
Much of what is common knowledge
is myth, however. Sacajawea has been
remembered as a guide. In reality, she
served as an interpreter for members of
the expedition, who were unfamiliar
with the Indian language. "Bird
Woman's" service is described in the
journals kept by Army Captains
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
during the expedition.
Four Native American Catholic Sisters
from Fort Berthold, South Dakota
worked as nurses for the War Depart
ment during the Spanish American War
(1898). Originally assigned to the mili
tary hospital at Jacksonville, Florida,
the nurses were soon transferred to
Havana, Cuba. One of the nurses, Sis
ter Anthony died of disease in Cuba and
was buried with military honors.
Fourteen Native American
women served as members of the Army
Nurse Corps during World War I, two
of them overseas. Mrs. Cora E. Sinnard,
a member of the Oneida Tribe and a
graduate of the Episcopalian School of
Nursing in Philadelphia, served eigh
teen months in France with a hospital
unit provided by the Episcopal Church.
Charlotte Edith (Anderson) Monture of
the Iroquois Nation also served as an
Army nurse in France. Charlotte was
born in J 890 in Ohsweken, Ontario,
Canada. In 1917, she left her job as an
elementary school nurse to join the
Army Nurse Corps. She later referred
to her service in France at a military
hospital as "the adventure of a lifetime."
Charlotte passed away in 1996, at the
age of 106.
Nearly 800 Native American
women served in the military during
World War II. Elva (Tapedo) Wale, a
Kiowa, left her Oklahoma reservation
to join the Women's Army Corps. Pri
vate Tapedo became an "Air WAC,"
and worked on Army Air Bases across
the United States. Corporal Bernice
(Firstshoot) Bailey of Lodge Pole,
Montana, joined the Women's Army
Corps in 1945 and served until 1948.
After the war, she was sent to
Wiesbaden, Germany, as part of the
Army of Occupation. Beatrice (Coffey)
Thayer also served in the Army of Oc
cupation in Germany. Beatrice remem
bers being assigned to KP with German
POWs, who were accompanied by
armed guards. Beatrice was in Germany
when the Berlin Wall went up, and re
mained in the Army until the 1970s.
Alida (Whipple) Fletcher joined
the Army during World War II and
trained as a medical specialist. She was
assigned to the hospital at Camp
Stoneman, California, which was an
Army port of embarkation for the Pa
cific. Alida was on duty the night two
ships loaded with explosives collided
at a nearby ammunition dump, killing
approximately 400 sailors and wound
ing many more. The wounded were

brought to the hospital where Alida
worked. She remembers that night as
the most tragic of her life.
First Lieutenant Julia
(Nashanany) Reeves, a member of the
Potawatomic Indian Tribe of Crandon,
Wisconsin, joined the Army Nurse
Corps in 1 942, and was assigned to one
of the first medical Units shipped to the
Pacific. The 52nd Evacuation Hospital
Unit was sent to New Caledonia before
its members had received their Army
uniforms. When the hospital ship So
lace arrived at New Caledonia, Julia
was assigned temporary duty aboard the
ship. The following year, Julia was
transferred to the 23rd Station I lospital
in Norwich, England, where she was
stationed during the invasion of
Normandy. She remained in Norwich
through V-J Day, returning shortly af
terward to the United Stales. During the
Korean War, Julia mobilized with the
804th Station Hospital.
Private Minnie Spotted-Wolf of
Heart Butte, Montana, enlisted in the
Marine Corps Women's Reserve in July
1943. She was the first female Ameri
can Indian to enroll in the Corps.
Minnie had worked on her father's
ranch doing such chores as cutting
fence posts, driving a two-ton truck, and
breaking horses. Her comment on Ma
rine boot camp "Hard but not too hard."
Ola Mildred Rexroat, an Oglala
Sioux from Pine Ridge Indian Reser
vation, South Dakota, joined the
Women's Airforce Service Pilots
(WASP) directly out of high school.
Her job was to tow targets for aerial
gunnery students at Eagle Pass Army
Air Base in Texas. Towing targets for
student gunners was a fairly dangerous
assignment, but "Rexy" was happy to
be able to contribute to the war effort
in a meaningful way. After the war
ended, Ola joined the Air Force and
served for almost ten years.
During the 1950s and 1960s,
fewer women felt the call to military
service. The services, however, were in
desperate need of womanpower during
the Korean conflict and the Vietnam
War, and conducted extensive recruit
ment campaigns aimed at young
women. Many Native American
women answered their country's call.
Sarah Mae Peshlakai, a member of the
Navajo Tribe from Crystal, New
Mexico, enlisted in the Women's Army
Corps in 1951 and served until 1957.
Peshlakai trained as a medical special
ist and was assigned to Yokohama
Army Hospital in Japan, where she
helped care for casualties from the Ko
rean battlefields.
Verna Fender entered the Navy
during the Korean Conflict and trained
at Bainbridgc, Maryland. She was se
verely injured during basic training and
was sent to a Navy hospital for physi
cal rehabilitation. Undeterred, Verna
returned to Bainbridge and completed
her training. The Navy assigned Vema
to its base in San Diego, California,
where she completed her 3-year term
of enlistment, working in the depart
ments of berthing and sectioning, sup
ply, and ordnance. Shirley M. Arviso,
a Navajo of the Bitter Water Clan,
served in the Navy from 1953 through
1963. She was the Communications
Officer in charge of a group of people
who decrypted classified messages.
Pearl Ross, a member of the
Arikara Tribe from the Fort Berthold
Reservation, joined the Air Force in
1953, and trained as a medical special
ist. Her first assignment was to the Air
Force hospital in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Pearl was then assigned to Offutt Air
Force Base in Nebraska, where she
worked in the 865th Medical Group at
SAC HQ. During the Vietnam era, she
saw many men who had been wounded
in the combat theater. Pearl volunteered
for overseas duty, but was turned down
because the Air Force was hesitant to
send women to Vietnam.

Linda Woods enlisted in die Air
Force in the laic 1950s and was on duty
w hen President Kennedy was assassi
nated. She remembers that the air base
where she was stationed went on full
alert. A later assignment took her to the
southern United States during the Civil
Rights movement. As a non-white, she
found the environment some v. hut dif
ficult, however, she retained pride in her
uniform as a woman of color.
Barbara Monteiro joined the
WAC in 1963 and took her basic and
secretarial training ut Ft. McClellan.
Alabama. I Icr first duty assignment was
to Ft. Huachuca, Arizona, where she
worked for three years in the travel of
fice and motor pool in support of troop
readiness during the Vietnam War. In
1966, Monteiro was assigned to I t.
Richardson, Alaskawhere she served
as an administration specialist at the
Education Center for a year. Lance
Corporal Valla Dee Jack Egge of
Dougherty, Oklahoma, served in the
U.S. Marine Corps in the early 1960s
as the executive secretary to two com
manding generals of the Parris Island
Marine Corps Base, South Carolina.
Increasing numbers of women,
including Native Americans, entered
the military in the 1970s and 1980s.
Patricia White Bear joined the Navy in
1981. She trained as an instrumcntman
and served at sea repairing, adjusting
and calibrating the wide variety of me
chanical measuring instruments used
aboard ships. Dolores Kathleen Smith,
a Cherokee, graduated from the Air
Force Academy in 1982. She completed
navigator training and was assigned to
a KC-I35 unit. She served in the op
erational plans division of her unit and
also as an instructor before retiring as a
captain from the Air Force in 1990.
Darlene Yellowcloud of the
Lakota Tribe was inspired to join the
Army because so many of the men in
her family had served. Her grandfather,
Bear Saves Life, was killed in action in
France during World War I. Her father,
brothers, brothers-in-law, uncles and
cousins were all veterans. Darlene was
assigned to the U. S. Army in Korea as
a Specialist 4th Class. Lawnikwa Spot-ted-Eaglefortune
joined the Army in
1988, and attended Basic Training at
Fort Dix, New Jersey. Acting as a
guide-on carrier, she was injured when
another carrier grounded a guide iron
through her toot into the ground. She
still has the scar, and now serves as a
member of the Virginia Air National
Guard.
As of 1980, at least sixty Native
American women were serving in the
Eskimo Scouts, a special unit of the
Alaska National Guard. The Eskimo
Scouts patrol the western coastline of
Alaska and the islands separating
Alaska and Russia. The Scouts are the
only members of the National Guard
who have a continuous active duty mis
sion. This unit was organized during
World War II, and the wives of scout
battalion members have always been
involved in patrol missions. Women
were admitted as official members in
1976, and only then began to receive
pay, benefits and recognition for their
work. Scouts currently patrol ice flows
in the Bering Straits, monitor move
ments on the tundra, and perform Arc
tic search and rescue efforts as required.
Native American women lost
their lives in the service of their nation.
Katherine Matthews of Cherokee,
North Carolina, joined the Navy in the
late 1970s and trained as an Aviation
Machinist's Mate. She died while serv
ing in California in 1985. Terri Ann
Hagen, a former Army medic, was a
member of the Army National Guard
when she was killed fighting a fire on
Storm King Mountain in Colorado in
1994.
As of 1994, 1,509 Native Ameri
can women and Native Alaskan women
were serving in the military forces of
the United States. Thousands more
have served in the military over time.
The Women's Memorial has only 1 1 1
