Norma Dieshu is a boatman with Canyon Tours. She was one of the crew that had hiked down at Phantom Ranch to join Al Buck's wedding trip in May, 2001. She joined Mary Wells with Team 1 afterwards.

Norma is a Navajo and knows a lot about the Indian traditions associated with the Grand Canyon. She taught Al some of that lore. Like several other Canyon Tours boatmen, she was a student at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, although Norma has plans that include medical school and a "Dr. Norma Dieshu M.D.".

Norma is described as "dark-haired, dark-skinned, solidly built.".^CF16 She has an outstanding "weather sense" which came into play in Chapter 41 of River Rat.

(Norma's last name was never seen in the books until River Rat).

Norma runs a single trip with White Team in May 2004 while on break from medical school.^DBR33
