Mahalia, a 114-Year-Old Native American Woman
Photographer Lee Picket snapped incredible photos of Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest. One of those photos was of a 114-year-old Native American woman named Mahalia, who lived in the Washington area in 1912. This photograph showed evidence to the White Man that Native Americans had a rather long lifespan, which was pretty rare in the early 20th century when the life expectancy for women was 48 and for men was 36.
