Florence Whiteman, one of the last woman warriors of the Northern Cheyenne Nation of Montana, died on Sunday at the age of 74.

Whiteman was known as a teacher and historian of Northern Cheyenne culture. She was one of the last Cheyenne to have a traditional, arranged marriage.

She was also raised by her grandparents, whose generation remembered the days when buffalo was plentiful and when attacks by the Army were common.
