This is a brief over-view of just some of Grandmother/Elder Jeannette Armstrong's life.. and some of her achievements. I have borrowed sections from different speech's and interviews..,
over various years of her life.. to try and give this a bit more of a biography feel.., as well as my attempt to try and highlight some of Elder Jannette's greatest concerns.  She is also “Grandmother Mourning Dove” - Elder Christine Quintaske's great, great Grandaughter (niece).

There is also two complimentary  videos made for her, too..
...in this channel.
