Marguerite LaFlesche Diddock: Office of Indian Affairs Field Matron.

Emmerich, Lisa E.

Great Plains Quarterly, v13 n3 p162-71 Sum 1993

Daughter of a chief and educated in two cultures, Marguerite LaFlesche Diddock served as an Indian field matron for the Office of Indian Affairs (OIA) from 1896-1900, providing the women of her Omaha community with an accessible Euro-American domestic role model with ties to the tribal past. Her role in OIA's Americanization attempts often caused community friction. (KS)
