Our lifesaving efforts wouldn't be the same without the work of Lula Owl Gloyne and William F. Tyndall. ⬇️

These Native American leaders both dedicated themselves to serving the unique health needs of their communities. 

Lula was a registered nurse who often traveled on difficult terrain to deliver babies and care for sick families. She also helped establish the first hospital for her tribe, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

William supported and educated youth on the Cherokee Indian Reservation. Three nights a week, he taught essential lifesaving skills as a Red Cross First Aid Instructor.

We are grateful for the compassion, knowledge and insights of Native American humanitarians throughout our history. Their contributions to our mission deepen our efforts in reaching and supporting our Tribal communities. 🫶🏽
