October 30, ????

Mysteries of science are wrapped in time-honored traditions.
An Abenaki woman obtains the gift of healing.


 

Doris Morning Dove Minckler was born on this day. Her mother, who was of Abenaki descent, died while Doris was very young.

Her grandmother Ida became her female role model. Doris' family moved to Swanton when she was four and Ida began teaching Doris the healing ways of the Abenaki, passed down through generations of Abenaki women.

Doris' abilities to listen, advise and soothe soon became legendary as she continued to practice the traditions her grandmother had taught her.

Her husband remarked of the constant flow of people in response to Doris' undying devotion to helping others.
