Colestah

Colestah was one of the wives of Chief Kamiakin of the Yakama Native American tribe. She is described as being a medicine woman, a psychic, and a warrior. She accompanied Kamiakin to the Battle of Spokane Plain, armed with a stone war club, vowing to fight by his side. When Kamiakin was wounded, Colestah carried him off and used her skills in traditional tribal medicine to nurse him back to health.^[1]
