Wilma Mankiller is honored and recognized as the first female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation... the first woman to be elected as chief of any major Native tribe. She spent her remarkable life fighting for the rights of American Indians. I really loved learning about Wilma... I read three books and watched a documentary AND a feature film.
Please visit us on Instagram @haveyoumetherpodcast to see some pictures of Wilma and get a peek at the resources that I used to research her.
