At home birth was very common on farms, family member enter birth eventually clergy signed the Bible entry, as live or entered date of death. As half breed Native American, doctors wouldn’t waste time to birth that child.
1930’s Farm life didn’t require DL, they were driving vehicles pre teens.
Three oldest boys joined military, in their teens, Dusters were highly recruited at young ages, to fly as military pilots.
My aunts married into military late teens to 20. Living on base, DL not high priority, many didn’t have access to a car.
If one has any in-depth knowledge of the South, and other parts of rural US, today there are still areas that home birth, is common, with very little outside contact other than family. My first encounter with a physician wasn’t until my 18th birthday

All my Dad's brother and sisters were born at home. He had nine of them but one died in childbirth. A plane crashed in their back yard on his birthday. On the day he was born. My brother verified it by looking at Chicago area newspapers.
We could have some Native American blood on my mother's side as that family goes back to around the 1660s in Massachusetts (Stimson) and North Carolina (Trueblood). Probably various opportunities to meet Native Americans.
