Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In 1956, the federal government uprooted Wilma Mankiller's family and moved them to California, wrenching them from their home, friends, and traditions in Oklahoma. Wilma found refuge in the Indian Centre in San Francisco, where, she worked to build and develop the local Native community and championed Native political activists. Returning later in life to Oklahoma with her daughters, Wilma took part in Cherokee government, becoming the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation. This is a striking illustrated account of her life.
"A picturebook biography of Wilma Mankiller, the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation."--Provided by publisher.
