Dean, Nora Thompson, 1907-1984
Nora Thompson Dean (July 3, 1907 – November 29, 1984) was a member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians. As a Lenape traditionalist and one of the last fluent speakers of the southern Unami dialect of the Lenape language, she was an influential mentor to younger tribal members and is widely cited in scholarship on Lenape culture.
Born in Oklahoma, she received her education in Oklahoma's public schools. She graduated from Midway School in 1921, as salutatorian, and from Dewey High School in Dewey, Oklahoma, in 1925. Thompson also had some nursing training and several university credits. In 1941, she married Charley Dean, who was also born and raised in northeastern Oklahoma.
