How long would you fight for something you believed in? For Lyda Conley, the answer was her whole life. Born in the late 1800s, Lyda saw a period of great change in America, especially in her home state of Kansas. As new buildings sprang up around her, she worried about what would happen to her family's land. In 1906, she launched a mission to save her ancestors' burial ground. Her never-ending fight led her to become the first Native American woman to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court.
