Nebraska doctor will be inducted into Hall of Fame
2002
Overview
The medical tradition began with Picotte's grandfather, Dr. John Gale, who was a surgeon with the 7th Calvary during the pre-Civil War years at Fort Crook in Nebraska. Based on history from the Nebraska Hall of Fame, Picotte stepped up her Native-related activities after her marriage. Along with being a tribal leader, she conducted religious services in the mission church and traveled to Washington, D.C., as the Omaha tribe delegate to lobby for a law to prohibit the sale of alcohol on the Omaha and Winnebago reservations. Picotte was a member of the Nebraska State Medical Society and chairwoman for health for the Nebraska Federation of Women's Club. She lobbied for state laws requiring health inspections for schools, the banning of public drinking cups, installation of drinking fountains, use of sanitary ice cream dishes and spoons, and was active in tuberculosis prevention.
