Kathleen Steinhauer (1932-2012) was born into the Saddle Lake Cree Nation. She was a founder and long-time activist with Indian Rights for Indian Women. She lost her treaty status when she married a non-status Cree, and in 1992 she launched a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Canada to be reinstated on the band list of the Saddle Lake Cree Nation, a case she won seven years later. She lived in Edmonton.
