Nancy Raven, also known as Nancy Taylor, was a Natchez storyteller from Braggs, Oklahoma and one of the last two fluent speakers of the Natchez language. Her father was Cherokee and her mother Natchez, and she learned Natchez at home. A full-blood, she never learned English, but was trilingual in Natchez, Cherokee and Muscogee. In 1907 she worked with anthropologist John R. Swanton who collected information about Natchez religion, and in the 1930s she worked extensively with linguist Mary R. Haa
