History of Rosalie Village

How Rosalie Got Its Name
The village of Rosalie was named after a very important person: Rosalie La Flesche Farley. She was the daughter of Joseph La Flesche, who was the last main chief of the Omaha tribe chosen in the traditional way during the 1800s. He was also the only chief who had some European family background.
After the Omaha tribe moved to their reservation, Rosalie La Flesche took on a big role. She became the tribe's financial manager. This meant she helped handle money matters, like managing agreements for grazing land and other business deals. She later married Edward Farley, who was from Bancroft, Nebraska.

Another one of Rosalie's sisters was Susan LaFlesche Picotte. Susan was an amazing woman who became a doctor. She was the first Native American woman to earn a medical degree in the United States. She married a man from the Yankton Sioux tribe.
