About
Lillie Rosa Minoka-Hill (1876–1952) was a Native American physician of Mohawk descent. Minnetoga, was her birth given last name according to an early record of her birth. Although, throughout her life, her name was changed three times; once at her birth, once when the Allen family forcefully adopted her, and a final time when she was given an Oneida name after working in the community for many years. Her favorite name to go by, was her third name, because it represented a high amount of honor that she had earned while treating the people, both white and non-white in Oneida. After her mother died, she was adopted by Joshua Allen, a Quaker in Philadelphia. She later graduated from the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania, becoming the second Native American female doctor in the United States, after Susan La Flesche Picotte (Omaha). Her life is remarkable because of the time period she was born into. She was born just after the battle of Little Big Horn and died while relocation of Native Americans was still happening. She lived in a time of discrimination against women, and people of color, especially in the medical field.
