Elizabeth Warham Forster (23 December 1886– 1 January 1972)[1] was an American nurse, who served on the Navajo Reservation, as a public health nurse for the tribe. She was innovative in that she encouraged the Navajo to use their traditional healing methods and rituals and saw them as complementary parts of the healing process. She later became the Colorado State Supervisor for the Emergency Recovery Administration. She was the long-time companion of photographer Laura Gilpin, who became noted for taking photographs of the Navajo, after Forster introduced her to their culture.
