Chief, Wilma Mankiller - 18 Nov 1845 - 6 apr 2010

Wilma worked very hard as the first female Chief of the Cherokee Nation.  We can
only hope that other women will follow in her footsteps.  She spent the most part of her life living in the slums and on the reservations, she never gave up the fight.

In my sorrow, I know she sleeps well at last, R.I.P.

She was an inspiration to me, as well, and I think to many of us. Sympathy to her family and friends. I was very impressed with har insight and her accomplishments, and especially appreciated the support she gave to Hillary during the campaign.
