Remembering the first Native American woman doctor in the United States
In an era when women couldn’t vote and Native Americans were denied citizenship, Susan La Flesche shattered not just one barrier, but two, to become the first Native American woman doctor in the United States. Born in a buckskin teepee on the Omaha Indian Reservation in northeast Nebraska on June 17, 1865, Susan was never given a traditional Omaha name by her mixed-race parents. Her father, Chief Joseph La Flesche (also known as “Iron Eye”), believed his children as well as his tribe were now living in a white man’s world in which change would be the only constant. “As the chief gua... more »

Blind elephant emotionally mourns the loss of her friend
Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things humans have to deal with in life. Considering elephants are known to be highly sensitive and emotional creatures, it’s no surprise that they grieve death much like humans do. Elephants care deeply for their young, form long-lasting friendships, and are visibly upset when they lose a fellow elephant friend. When Jokia, the elephant in this video, lost her best friend, Mae Perm, tears began rolling down her face and dripping from her trunk. Despite being blind, Jokia knew that something was off when her best friend did not respond to h... more »
