In 1851 Olive Oatman was a thirteen-year old pioneer traveling west toward Zion with her Mormon family. Within a decade she was a white Indian with a chin tattoo caught between cultures. Orphaned when her family was brutally killed by Yavapai Indians Oatman lived as a slave to her captors for a year before being traded to the Mohave who tattooed her face and raised her as their own.
