Chief Earth Woman

Chief Earth Woman was a nineteenth century Ojibwa. She claimed that she had gained supernatural powers from a dream, and for this reason, accompanied the men on the warpath.[1] [2]

She was born at around 1878 near Waterloo, Ohio as Birtha Snyder, Snider or Snidow. She married a man named "White Owl" in 1893, and she traveled from Ohio to frequently Michigan. She lived in Old Man's Cave while in Ohio.[citation needed]
