BIOGRAPHY OF JEAN DODGINGHORSE
Jean was born February 14, 1934 in Paul First Nation, Alberta, Canada. Jean moved
to Tsuut’ina in 1952 with her husband late Harry Dodginghorse. Jean’s mother-in-
law is Katie Dodginghorse. This is where she learned a lot of the stories of the
Tsuut’ina Nation and its people. Also, from her personal experience of being on
the reserve. Jean’s faith is in the Anglican Church. Jean is fluent in her language,
but also wants to fully learn the Tsuut’ina Language. Jean is one of many elders
that participate in a lot of the community functions. Jean is a very nice caring lady
and is humble and courteous when it comes to her fellow Tsuut’ina elders. Jean
said “you must retain the language; you must learn it.”
