Wilma Mankiller was the first woman to be elected as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. We explore Wilma's early life and the challenges she faced growing up in a rural, economically disadvantaged area. Her family's relocation to San Francisco as part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' relocation program profoundly impacted her understanding of urban Native American struggles.

A turning point in her life came when she became involved in the Alcatraz Occupation, igniting her passion for activism and community service. Her journey back to Oklahoma saw her immerse herself in Cherokee culture and governance, ultimately leading to her groundbreaking election as Principal Chief in 1985.

During her tenure, Wilma implemented transformative programs focusing on health, education, and economic development for the Cherokee Nation. Her enduring legacy and the impact of her work continue to influence future generations of Indigenous leaders.
