Wilma Mankiller will discuss "What it Means to be an Indigenous Person in the 21st Century: A Cherokee Woman's Perspective."
Chief Wilma Mankiller is easily the most recognized Native American woman today. Her credentials as an activist go back to the post Alcatraz Native American Movement in California, where she channeled her talents into educational programs. She has remained deeply involved in the social, cultural, economic and political life of the Cherokee Nation, heading several commissions and serving on national Native boards and organizations.
