Yellow Robe, Rosebud was born and brought up in an educated family as a daughter of a nurse and an educator. Her father was a graduate of Carlisle, a Native american Boarding school designed to enculturate Indians to Anglo society by removing the trace of being an Indian. However, like many other graduate of the Carlisle, Chauncey Yellow Robe used the education he acquired to educate their people. His achievement put him as a representative of the North American Indians at the Congress of Nations. Under education of her father, Chauncey Yellow Robe she has became an activist for Native American, author and also an educator.

Yellow Rosebud’s contributed her life for her culture and her give to the society of Native American was significant.
Researching and study of Yellow Robe, Rosebud has helped me understand the culture of Native American and the struggle of the culture that has been going on for decades.
through her story I found that she did not come from a rich and powerful family but nevertheless, being the great grand niece of Sitting Bull and Iron Plume and daughter of Chauncey Yellow Robe, is her family background has helped her realized the struggle of the culture of Native American.
