}}Yvonne Kauger (born August 3, 1937), is an Associate Justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, and was appointed to the Court's District 4 seat by Governor George Nigh in 1984, and served as Chief Justice from 1997 to 1998. She was born in Cordell, Oklahoma, and grew up in Colony, Oklahoma, and is an honorary member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma.[1] Kauger founded the Gallery of the Plains Indian in Colony, Oklahoma and is also the co-founder of Red Earth.[2] Kauger also serves as Symposium Coordinator of the Sovereignty Symposium. Kauger was inducted into the Oklahoma Women's Hall of Fame in 2001.[3]

Early life

Kauger grew up in Colony, Oklahoma, helping her parents John and Alice Kauger with various chores on the family farm. During her childhood, Kauger primarily helped by picking cotton. Upon getting her driver's license, Kauger was hired for the summer by a small law firm. She was the valedictorian of her graduating class at Colony High School. Her time with the small firm inspired her to pursue her law degree.[4]

Education

Kauger attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University where she majored in biology and minored in both chemistry and English. She graduated in three years and worked as a med tech at a Medical Arts Lab for five years after graduating from an internship program at Saint Anthony Hospital. Kauger used this profession to fund her lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer. Kauger received her law degree at Oklahoma City University in 1969, where she was first in her law school class.[5]

Upon graduation, Kauger had many job offers and worked in a private practice for Senator Cleeta John Rogers for two and a half years. After this, Kauger worked for Justice Hodges as a clerk for eleven and a half years before she was appointed to the Supreme Court.
