BiographyMinnie Spotted-Wolf enlisted in the Marine Corps Women's Reserve in July 1943.[1] Spotted-Wolf, from Heart Butte, Montana, was a member of the Blackfoot tribe. Prior to joining the Marines, she had worked on her father's ranch doing such chores as cutting fence posts, driving a two-ton truck, and breaking horses.[2] Known for her skill for breaking horses, she described Marine boot camp as: "hard but not too hard."[3] She served on military bases in California and Hawaii. She was a heavy equipment operator, and as a driver for general officers.[2] Press coverage of her wartime service included headlines like Minnie, Pride of the Marines, Is Bronc-Busting Indian Queen.[4] According to her daughter, "she could outride guys into her early 50s."[4] After her military service, she earned a degree in Elementary Education, and spent 29 years as a teacher.[2] See also
