the first female Native American lawyer

     In 1910 Lyda Burton Conley became the first female Native American
lawyer. 42 U. Miami L. Rev. 29, 38. Besides this article, there is some
information on her in Karen Berger Morello, The Invisible Bar: The Woman
Lawyer in America 1638-1986 (1986).
     Seeking additional information, I'vs called the Native American Law
Library (Boulder, Col.) and the U. of Oklahoma main library. No luck.
I've also searched all logical files and databases on LEXIS/NEXIS and
WESTLAW/DIALOG. No luck.
     I've also contacted the Wyandotte Tribal Headquarters (she was a
Wyandotte) and the Newbury Library in Chicago.
     Any other suggestions or resources?

     Thanks. Fritz Snyder.
