I Remember Turtle Woman is gleaned from two author memories: Hauff's introduction to Elsie Flood, aka Turtle Woman, in the early 1960s and learning about her death in 1991. As a child, Hauff was fascinated with Flood's fearless nomadic lifestyle. When she heard about Flood's brutal murder that occurred during a dark time in recent Lakota history, Hauff grasped the heartbreaking reality of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
