Ruby lived and went to school in Duckwater, NV until the eighth grade then attended Stewart Indian School which eventually resulted in her attending school in Lund, NV at the behest of her father. As part of the 1956 Relocation Act, Ruby moved to Cleveland, OH and became a cosmologist. She eventually moved back to the Duckwater Reservation and had a variety of jobs within the tribe there. She ends her oral narrative by suggesting that the younger generation stay in and go to school.</p>
