Pat Crenshaw, 79, is a black Native American, who owns and operates 120 acres in Slick, Oklahoma.
Her father purchased the land through Farmers Home Administration in 1945, a time when it was uncommon for minorities to receive loans through the government.
Having lived on the land since 1945 with her parents, she began maintaining the 120-acre ranch by herself since her father passed away in 2001.
