A white missionary teacher who instructs Junior during the second grade. She is bigoted, unfair, and continually punishes Junior throughout the year; she sends him home with a letter “that [tells his] parents to either cut [Junior’s] braids or keep [him] home from class.” She calls Junior “indian without capitalization” in an attempt to debase and humiliate him, but this treatment seems to cause Junior to accept and own his cultural identity in a defiant, steadfast way.
