  • Alice Piper (7 June 1908 – 22 August 1985) was a Paiute (Nüümü) woman, who as a girl residing in Big Pine, California petitioned to attend the newly built Big Pine High School in 1923 and was denied entry due to her race. At that time, California educational law prohibited Native American children from attending a public school if a separate government run Indian school was established within three miles of the public school. Alice Piper along with six other Indian children sued the district for the right to attend. Piper sued on the grounds that her 14th Amendment rights had been violated knowing full well that she was not receiving the same education that the newly built public school afforded. The local Indian day school only offered education up to the 5th grade level, was underfunded, and lacked many basic resources. Furthermore, the District trustees had previously agreed to allow Indian students to attend the school if their parents voted for a measure that would fund the construction of the school. Although the measure passed, the board of trustees did not honor their agreement. As a local resident recalled, "It was an exciting morning when the request was made, all the mothers and fathers of children of school age, Indian and white, were on the street to hear the answer of the district trustees. When the request was denied, the Indians immediately took court action pressing their case in the name of Alice Piper, a beautiful, intelligent, Indian girl." The California Supreme Court unanimously ruled in her favor in the case Piper v. Big Pine (1924), thus opening the door for herself and other Native American children to attend public schools in the state of California. (en)
  • Alice Piper (7 de junio de 1908–22 de agosto de 1985) era una Paiute (Nuwuvi) que vivió en Pino Grande, California quién solicitó asistir a la Escuela Superior Pino Grande recientemente construida en 1923 y le negaron la entrada debido a su raza.​ En aquel tiempo, la ley educativa de California prohibió a niños Americanos Nativos asistir a una escuela pública si una escuela india se encontraba establecida dentro de tres millas de la escuela pública.​ Alice Piper junto con otros seis niños indios demandaron al distrito por el derecho a asistir. Piper demandó que sus derechos de la Enmienda 14 habían sido violados sabiendo muy bien que ella no estaba recibiendo la misma educación que la escuela pública recientemente construida proporcionaba. La escuela de día india local ofrecía educación sólo hasta el 5º grado, el financiamiento era bajo, y carecía de muchos recursos básicos. Además, el administrador del Distrito previamente había acordado permitir estudiantes indios para asistir a la escuela si sus padres votaban una medida que financiaría la construcción de la escuela. A pesar de que la medida fue aprobada, el consejo de la administración no respetó su acuerdo.​ Como un residente local recordó, "era una mañana emocionante cuándo la petición estuvo hecha, todas las madres y padres de niños de edad escolar, indios y blancos, estaban en la calle para oír la respuesta del administrador del distrito. Cuándo la petición estuvo negada, los indios inmediatamente tomaron acciones ante el tribunal que llevaba su caso en el nombre de Alice Piper, una bonita e inteligente chica india."​ El Tribunal Supremo de California unánimemente falló a su favor en el caso Piper versus Pino grande (1924), abriendo la puerta para ella y otros niños Nativos Americanos para asistir a escuelas públicas en el estado de California.​ (es)
