Betty is part of the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma through the lineage of her mother, Pearl. In the midst of the Dust Bowl and depression, Betty’s family moved from their family farm in South Dakota to Oklahoma to live at her mother’s family home a summer before moving the family of eight to Filer, ID. Betty’s father went on to establish a successful onion farm in the Buhl area while her mother lovingly managed all aspects of their home and family.
