Lori Piestewa
Specialist Lori Ann Piestewa ( ; December 14, 1979 – March 23, 2003) was a U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps soldier killed during the same Iraqi Army attack in which fellow soldiers Shoshana Johnson and Jessica Lynch sustained injuries. A member of the Hopi tribe, Piestewa was the first Native American woman in history to die in combat while serving with the U.S. military and the first woman in the U.S. armed forces killed in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.〔 Arizona's Piestewa Peak is named in her honor.
==Early life==
Piestewa was born in Tuba City, Arizona, to Terry Piestewa and Priscilla "Percy" Baca.〔 The couple first met in 1964 and married in November 1968.〔(Witness Testimony - - House Committee on Veterans' Affairs )〕
The Piestewa family had a long military tradition; her paternal grandfather served in the U.S. Army in the European Theatre of World War II, and her father Terry Piestewa was drafted in the U.S. Army in September 1965 and served a tour of duty in the Vietnam War before he returned home in March 1967.〔
The Piestewa family resided in a trailer park in Tuba City, a town located on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Coconino County.〔 As a child, she was given the Hopi name ''Qötsa-Hon-Mana'' (, ''White Bear Girl'').〔 Her surname is derived from a Hopi language root meaning "water pooled on the desert by a hard rain"; thus, ''Piestewa'' () translates loosely as "the people who live by the water."
