November 6, 1926. Photo of four of the members of the Eagle Feathers Indian women's organization. Standing, left to right are: Mrs. C.S. Moore, Mrs. C. Sullivan and Mrs. D.J. Walling. Seated is Mrs. Mary Lloyd, a Colville Indian and long-time Spokane resident. Lloyd was known throughout the west for her lifelong service to the Indian people. She was the only female member of the executive committee of the Northwest Indian congress that was held in Spokane in 1925. There was nothing she would not gladly do, she once said, for the betterment of her people. Lloyd died in 1948 at age 74.
