The note, written presumably by a relative of Phoebe Waterman Haas (1882-1967), explains that when Phoebe was a child, she had a Sioux nurse, whom she became close to.
The note includes outdated and harmful language describing Sioux people. To support discoverability while using more accurate terminology, the Science History Institute has applied both local subject headings and Library of Congress subject headings in describing the Oglala people. The Library of Congress continues to use the term “Indian” in its controlled vocabulary.
