My bro in law is the same way... he just shoot his bow left handed.... I would say teach her to shoot left handed, she is young, it would just strain here eyesight to let her shoot right handed..
Since she is just starting out, I'd say left for at least a year or two. If she has trouble after that, maybe go right. My wife is also left eye dominant and only feels comfortable shooting right. She shoots instinctive though.

She might be right handed, but her archery muscles are not developed on that side. It won't be any more difficult for her to shoot lefty than it would be for her to shoot righty. Plus, she's already used to aiming with her left eye. Makes a lefthanded bow pretty much a no brainer, doesn't it?
I'm in the army and i have to teach alot of soldiers who are 18 to 28 years old to go against everything they ever knew about being right handed an shoot left because they are left eye dominant. If she shoots right handed her vision will be dramaticly decreased (making the picture blurry) when she tries to use the pins (same for a soldier shooting through an M4 peepsight) she is young go ahead an use a left handed bow, she already knows how to shoot a gun left handed so she isn't exactly left hand useless
