"White Medicine Woman"

On the prairie

Rebecca is still

She’d helped others

And became deathly ill

               

This is the story of a hero

She was my great grandmother

And she made us all proud

In the way she cared for another

     
             

You see the heart catches things

That the mind cannot see

So it was with life

On the prairie

       
                                           
             
Rebecca's Gravesite
