This book chronicles the life of Wilma Pearl Mankiller, the first woman ever elected to be chief of the Cherokee Nation.
Wilma Pearl Mankiller’s great-grandfather had survived the deadly forced westward march of Native Americans known as the “Trail of Tears.” She rose to lead the Cherokee Nation more than 150 years later as principal chief, the first elected female chief of a Native nation in modern times. Throughout her reign from 1985-1995, cut short only by her own severe health challenges, she advocated for extensive community development, self-help, and education and healthcare programs that revitalized the Nation of 300,000 citizens. Wilma Mankiller will continue to shine as an inspirational example of the faith in her belief that ethnicity should never be forgotten--nor come before family unity, society, and country.
