}}Paula Underwood (1932–2000) was an American author, who primarily wrote about Native Americans in the United States.[2]

Career

Underwood wrote several award-winning books and contributed to numerous publications. A speaker, lecturer, and teacher, she founded and directed the Learning Way company, a developer of an educational program: The Past is Prologue.[2] She is known for her "learning stories" and "The Learning Way."[3]

Background

Underwood was born in Los Angeles, California to Perry Leonard Underwood, from Lincoln, Nebraska and Vida Lora (Webster) Underwood, from Springfield, Missouri. Paula Underwood was not a member of any Iroquois Nation or tribe; she was raised by her non-Native father in what she referred to as the “strong spirit path,” and said that he taught her “to revere and respect Iroquoian traditions.”[2] She said that she and her father considered themselves a “Tribe of Two.”[2] She claimed her paternal grandmother was Oneida.[1] Her paternal grandmother was Sarah Mariah (Leonard) Underwood (1858–1939) born in Clarke County, Iowa.[4]
