Noble helped to found the Boston Indian Council, which is now known as the North American Indian Center of Boston.〔 Noble was the author of ''Sweet Grass: Lives of Contemporary Native Women'', which was published in 1997.〔 ==Early life== Mildred Noble was born in northern Ontario, Canada in 1921.〔 Her parents, Edward Paibomasai and Mary Moore, were members of the Ojibwe Nation.〔 Paibomasai was from the Whitefish Bay First Nation, while Moore was from the Hudson Bay region Ojibwe.〔 〕 Noble was raised by her parents in a log cabin. Her parents made a living by fishing and hunting.〔 Noble left northern Canada and moved to Boston, Massachusetts, when she was 18 years old.〔 She stated in numerous interviews that she was looking for "the havoc of city life" after living in the wilderness for so many years.〔 However, her life in Boston was initially not a happy one. Noble's mother died shortly after she moved to Boston.〔 While she did get married, and had three children, the marriage ultimately ended in divorce.〔 Two of Noble's sisters also died from tuberculosis during this same time in her life.〔 Tragedy struck Noble's family again during the 1970s.
