I love this image shared by @okhistory of Te Ata who was born on this date in 1895 in Emet, Indian Territory. As a Chickasaw storyteller, she traveled extensively and performed for U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Britain's royalty. She died in 1995.

Mary Caroline Cole (1912–1991) of Tulsa was the FIRST woman to become a licensed #architect in #Oklahoma!
