Description

Throughout history, women have played an important role in the family and the community.  But Native women have also helped shape our nation by fighting alongside warriors, becoming doctors and performing other courageous feats.  Learn about the impact of these women from historian Heather Bruegl.

Heather Bruegl, inspired by a trip to Wounded Knee, South Dakota, quickly developed a passion for Native American History.  Curiosity for her own heritage led her to Wisconsin, where she has researched the history of the Native American tribes of that region. Heather is a graduate of Madonna University of Michigan and holds a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in U.S. History. She currently travels and lectures on Native American history, including policy and activism.
