Her visits to indigenous groups included meetings with the Ojibwes, Lakotas, Dakotas, Northern Utes, Ho-chunks, Seminoles, and Makahs. A "New Woman" and a self-trained anthropologist, she not only influenced government attitudes toward indigenous cultures but also helped mold the field of anthropology UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1512/2015004843-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1512/2015004843-d.html ER -
