Oh I never learnt about her myself. I was given this book as a gift in January and I read about her there. For starters I thought that the information about her was incorrect or a hoax. I could not grasp the notion of an Indian chief being an engineer. So I just used google to gather some information. I saw that she had no article on wikipedia so I just lumped my information in an article and put it up here. 

Also as I said before, there are lots and lots of things which need to be added to this article. If your student is willing to help it will be highly appreciated. For example more citations/sources are needed which can show that she " was the recipient of the Campfire Girls Certificate of Appreciation of Outstanding Service in 1970" and that she "was awarded the United States Air Force Award of Superior Performance". Also there are some other things which kinda irked me. If your student is still editing I'll be happy to post them on his talkpage.

P.S I have seen the draft, and even though it lacks some information and has no pictures, it is still a pretty neat effort. Do give him good marks for it D.
