Henrietta One Bear was born to Joe Bearcomesout, Sr. and Louise Onebear on August 25, 1948 in Crow Agency, Montana. Gramma Bear was raised by her grandparents James and Margaret (Seminole) Onebear on the Rosebud Creek and in Lame Deer, Montana.
Henrietta loved riding horseback. She rode all over the hills of Rosebud Creek. At the age of 10 she moved to Lame Deer with her grandparents.
